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.

DESCRIPTION
The Ping Group (http://yuanping.chemistry.ucsc.edu/) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar of condensed matter and materials theory. Under the direction of Prof. Yuan Ping, the Postdoctoral Scholar will: 1) develop and apply advanced electronic structure methods for excited state dynamics in emerging materials such as 2D quantum defects (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41524-021-00525-5; Y. Ping et al, Nat. Comput. Sci. 1, 646, (2021)) and hybrid organic-inorganic materials; 2) develop theory and computational codes for open quantum dynamics with many-body interactions built on our recent work (J. Xu et al, Nat. Commun. 11, 2780 (2020) and Phys. Rev. B 104, 184418 (2021)) for spin dynamics in quantum information science and spintronics applications.
Applicants with expertise in condensed matter theory, materials theory, or physical chemistry and significant experience in any of the following areas are strongly encouraged to apply: developing first-principles methods for excited states and correlated electrons in solids such as Green’s function methods (GW/BSE, DMFT), real-time TDDFT, electron-phonon coupling, spin dynamics, and having experiences in massively-parallel numerical implementations for advanced electronic structure methods.
Bio: Yuan Ping received her B.Sc. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2007 and her Ph.D. from UC Davis under Giulia Galli (currently at U. Chicago) in 2013. She was a materials postdoctoral fellow in JCAP at Caltech from 2013 to 2016, under William Goddard III. In 2016, she joined the faculty at UC Santa Cruz as an assistant professor in Chemistry department and affiliated professor in Physics department. Ping’s research group focuses on many-body perturbation theory for electronic excitation and exciton recombination, and ab-initio open quantum dynamics for spin and electron relaxation for applications in quantum information science and energy conversion. Ping is a recipient of Alfred P. Sloan fellow in 2022, NSF CAREER award in 2022, Air Force Young Investigator Program (YIP) award in 2021, and ACS COMP OpenEye Outstanding Junior Faculty Award in 2021.
