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.

The Titus group at Purdue University is seeking a post-doctoral research fellow in the area of first-principles density functional theory calculations to assist with alloy design of high temperature refractory alloys. The work aims to understand and predict the oxidation behavior of high temperature refractory alloys utilized in extreme environments. The post-doctoral researcher will:

  • Perform density functional theory calculations on refractory alloys and oxides to understand defect energies, phase stability, and diffusion kinetics
  • Collaborate extensively with government labs, industry, and experimental colleagues
  • Utilize the Department of Defense High Performance Computing clusters for large and high-throughput calculations.

The unique combination of first-principles-informed alloy design with experimental benchmarks and validation will enable the Post-Doctoral Fellow to gain a deeper understanding of feedback loops existing between modeling and experiments. The Fellow will also gain understanding of the aims and missions of various funding agencies and world-leading industrial research centers. This experience will be especially beneficial towards candidates desiring a position in academia or at a national lab.

More information can be found in the attached document and on my group website.
