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 positions at Vanderbilt Univ., USA (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Postdoctoral positions are available now in Prof. De-en Jiang’s group at Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Vanderbilt University. The positions will focus on research in the area of computational materials and chemistry.
One position will be on chemical separations such as gas separations and ion extractions. The research involves design and simulations of advanced materials and molecular functionalities for selectively binding and transporting target molecules and ions. An ideal candidate will have experience in molecular quantum chemistry, simulations of materials and interfaces, liquid-phase classical molecular dynamics simulations, and force-field parameterization with machine learning.
The other position will be on computational materials and surface chemistry for catalysis and energy storage. The research involves design and simulations of complex solid materials such as high-entropy materials for heterogenous catalysis and composite materials for batteries. An ideal candidate will have experience in periodic density functional theory simulations of solids and surfaces; in locating surface reaction pathways by transition-state-search techniques such as nudged elastic band; experience in ab initio molecular dynamics, high-throughput screening, and/or machine learning is a plus.
If interested, please email your CV to Prof. Jiang at de-en.jiang at vanderbilt.edu.
