Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Postdoc position on Study of  Catalysis in Metallic Nanowires and surfaces, from first principles calculations at the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics

 

The Computational Modeling of Condensed Matter  group at the Gleb Wataghin Institute of Physics (State University of Campinas, Brazil) is searching for a

Postdoc researcher to be involved in the study of metallic nanowires with application in reactivity and catalysis using ab initio calculations.

The project involves simulations of structural, electronic and transport simulations using DFT based methods and also molecular dynamics.

 

The 2-year position must start in May 2020, is renewable for 2 more years.

The deadline for the application is 20/08/2020.

 

Researcher’s expected profile:

  • Be highly motivated with a PhD in Physics or other related areas.

 

  • Have a strong background (at least 5 years of experience) in electronic structure

calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT) and beyond.

  • Have extensive experience with DFT codes such as SIESTA , VASP and QUANTUM ESPRESSO.
  • Have expertise with molecular dynamics (MD) (LAMMPS), ab initio MD, force fields and ReaxFF method.
  • Have extensive with the LAMMPS code.
  • Be able to work independently and in a team and be fluent in English.

 

Interested candidates should contact Prof. Edison Zacarias da Silva

at [email protected].

(1) a cover letter,

(2) CV, and

(3) contact information of at least 2 references.

 

The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) postdoctoral grant in the amount of BRL R$7373.10 per month, plus complimentary funding for research-related expenses.
