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.

We invite applications for a joint postdoc position at the Universities of Minnesota (UMN) and North Dakota (UND) on the study of MAB phases (which are atomically laminated, ternary transition metal borides) using Density Functional Theory, machine learning, and Dynamical Mean Field Theory. This position is full-time and benefitted; the appointment is for 18 months. The successful candidate will work in the research groups of Dr. Deniz Cakir ([email protected]) and Dr. Turan Birol ([email protected]).  Applicant should have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, and material science, and is expected to be independent, highly motivated, have very good communication skills, and must possess collaborative skills to work with experimentalists.

Minimum Requirements

  • A Ph.D. in the physical sciences (Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science)
  • Experience with programming (such as Python)
  • Expert knowledge of first-principles calculations using DFT (VASP is highly preferred)
  • Experience in crystal structure prediction and high-throughout calculations
  • Successful completion of criminal history records check

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in the first-principles many-body approaches (especially DFT +DMFT) and machine learning
  • Experience in electrochemistry (such as constructing Pourbaix diagrams) and cluster expansion are highly preferred
