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 in nonlocal-DFT development (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The density functional theory group in the
Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience - MC2,
at Chalmers, Sweden, invites applications for a
postdoc position with emphasis on nonlocal-DFT method
development, implementation, and validation.
The successful candidate will work to develop our class
of consistent van der Waals density functional
(vdW-DF) versions that adhere to both the Lindhard
screening logic and current conservation. We aim
to develop a nonempirical general-purpose computational
tool and the focus is on exploring the method potential
for explorations of biochemistry. You will help us
build broader trust in this vdW-DF class, by seeking to
launch benchmarking in both traditional materials and
chemistry settings. You will also help us track and
understand binding signatures of nonlocal correlation
effects. Finally, you will seek and implement vdW-DF
method progress in libraries and DFT codes, for
example, adapting them for large-scale vdW-DF studies
of biomolecular problems.
We are looking for a highly motivated person who has
completed a Ph.D. in Physics, Engineering Physics, or
in Physical Chemistry. You should be fluent in English and
have a solid knowledge of both DFT and condensed matter theory.
Experience in scripting languages like python is also a
requirement, and experience in coding (fortran or C)
is a clear advantage.
The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).
Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer.
Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all
activities at Chalmers.
