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 in molecular modelling (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are welcomed for postdoctoral positions in molecular modeling at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) for up to 4 years duration. We look for applicants with strong academic background and experience in various molecular modelling techniques, including:
* quantum chemistry, mainly density functional theory (DFT) at the molecular and solid-state simulations.
* molecular dynamics simulations at all-atom or coarse grain levels.
* Free energy calculations and enhanced sampling techniques.
* Thermodynamic and kinetics modeling.
The positions are in the multiscale-multiphysics modelling program in the Center for Integrative Petroleum Research (CIPR). Our role as a fundamental research group is to complement multidisciplinary research activities in our center in various aspects of geo-energy, including more sustainable oil & gas production and geothermal energy. Possible research topics for the postdoc positions could include:
* Gas injection in the subsurface, including CO2 sequestration and H2 storage.
* Chemistry and physics of fluid-rock interfaces.
* Mineral growth and dissolution and the behavior of scaling inhibitors
* Polymer & surfactant phase behavior.
* Ionic liquids for enhanced oil recovery (EOR).
* Asphaltene scale inhibition & removal
* CO2-assissted EOR.
* Modeling anomalous properties of water and aqueous solutions.
