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, Development of electronic stru ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Location: ICG Montpellier (France)
Funded by: RS2E (www.energie-rs2e.com)
Supervisors: Dr. Matthieu Saubanère (ICGM) and Dr. Alexis Grimaud (Collège de France)
Description
A postdoc fellowship is available to develop new electronic structure methods based on advanced Density Functional Theory (DFT) enabling accurate determination of electronic and structural response function. The newly developed methods could be based either on wave function or Green function formalism. Direct applications are envisioned for state-of-the-art lithium rich oxides used as cathode materials in Li-ions batteries. The candidates must possess a strong background in computational physics/chemistry and/or programming. Knowledge in lithium-ion batteries is not mandatory. The project takes place in a high standing theoretical and experimental collaborative network.

Requirements
The one-year (renewable under conditions) fellowship is tenable from April 2017 (or shortly afterwards) and candidates should have a strong interest (experience) in the development of first principle methods. PhD must have been validated in April 2015 and later.
