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.

About the job

We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral scientist to work on the development and application of quantum Monte Carlo, density functional theory and other ab initio electronic structure methods for materials modelling. Depending on your skills, work could involve development of new theoretical approaches, or application of the state-of-the-art methods to material properties. We are interested in (but not limited to) modelling surfaces, interfaces, low-dimensional materials and defects in solids. The job requires the ability to work both independently and in collaboration with other researchers, including both theoreticians and experimentalists. Studies will be encouraged to be presented at international meetings and published in high profile journals. The team is a young and dynamic research group based at the institute of condensed matter and materials physics in school of physics, Peking University. We will provide enjoyable working environment and strong support for group member’s personal development. Computational resources are available with accesses to the supercomputing platform of Peking University and China’s national supercomputing centers.

More information about our team and researches can be found from our group page.
