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 in Computational Materials Ava ... (No replies)

The Materials Modeling and Design Group at Westlake University (Hangzhou, China) invites applications for two postdoctoral positions. Led by Dr. Wenbin Li, we are a young, dynamic research group that aims to advance materials science by undertaking impactful research in the computational modeling and design of advanced functional materials.
One of the two postdoc positions will focus on first-principles modeling of chalcogenide materials for next-generation electronics and photonics. We seek candidates who have demonstrated expertise in first-principles modeling of electronic, optical, and/or transport properties of functional materials. The theme of the second postdoc position is more open-ended in nature. For this position, while having some experience in first-principles modeling is desirable, we are more looking for candidates who demonstrate creativity, out-of-the-box thinking, and enthusiasm for breaking disciplinary boundaries. Hence, candidates with backgrounds in all areas of computational science and engineering are encouraged to apply.
The appointed postdocs will work closely with the principal investigator and a group of talented graduate students. We value collegiality and strive to provide group members with strong support for personal and professional development.
Provided that satisfactory performance is maintained, these postdoc positions are renewable for at least two years. Salary is negotiable and will be highly competitive.
Interested candidates are encouraged to send their CV, representative publications, as well as a list of professional references through email to Dr. Wenbin Li ([email protected]). The positions will remain available until filled.
