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.

Computational Materials Science Lab at Institute of Mineral Engineering (GHI), Division of Materials Science and Engineering, Faculty of Georesources and Materials Engineering, RWTH Aachen University has an opening for
Postdoc Position in Electron-Phonon Coupling
Job Description and Qualifications
The computational research involved in this position is electron-phonon coupling, with particular interest in phonon transport at the interface of materials and energy nanotechnology.
The candidate should have a PhD degree in Physics or Engineering (preferably Mechanical Engineering or Materials Science and Engineering). Background in atomistic simulation such as DFT / ab initio calculations or classical molecular dynamics is essential. The candidate should be capable of calculating phonon transport of materials and electronic transport of metals. Previous experiences of modeling using simulation packages, including VASP, CASTEP, SIESTA, QUANTUMESPRESSO, CPMD, CP2K, and CP-PAW are strong advantages. The salary will be according to the standard policy and salary rates of RWTH Aachen University. The postdoc position starts from November 1st, 2016. Earlier start date is also possible, depending on the financial management. The initial contract is one (1) year and can be extended upon mutual agreement.
Candidates should have the ability to think creatively with high motivation and have an excellent English written ability and fluent communication in general. Knowledge of German is a plus but not required.
Interested candidates may submit electronically a complete CV including list of publications and contact information of at least two (2) references (all application materials must be in English) to:
