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 research group of Prof. Jun Cheng at Xiamen University, China is looking to fill 2 postdoctoral research associate (PDRA) positions. The project is to develop computational method/theory to describe the transfer of charges (i.e. electrons and protons) at solid-liquid interfaces.
The candidates are required to have a PhD degree in chemistry, physics, material sciences or related areas. Experience on electronic structure theories (DFT and beyond), computational simulations of solids, and/or sampling methods (molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo) is preferred.
The gross salary is RMB 200,000 (roughly 27,000 euros) per annum, and there is an incentive mechanism (iChem Postdoc/Fellow) in place in the Department after successful performance review. The University provides on-site accommodation for PDRAs at a much lower rate than the market price, and offers RMB 1000 per month for compensation if chosen to rent off-campus. Other benefits (e.g. pension, insurance and housing fund) will be offered according to the university policies, and the university has an affiliated nursery and school to provide good childcare and education for children. The positions are available for two years at the initial instance, with the possibility of extension based on mutual agreement.
The start date is immediate. Please send your CV, research statement (1 page) and contact information of 2 academic references, directly to Prof. Jun Cheng by email ([email protected]). The search is open until the positions are filled. Informal inquiry can be made by contacting Prof. Cheng.

The Xiamen City is a major city on the southeast coast of China, and routinely ranked among the top of “most suitable cities for living” in China. The main campus of Xiamen University is located at the southwestern corner of the Xiamen Island. Sitting at the foot of a mountain where the Xiamen’s Botanic Garden is located, surrounded by the Xiamen’s Bay with easy access to the beach by just crossing a road from the Baicheng gate of the University, adorned with Chinese traditional style buildings, tranquil lakes and tropical plants, Xiamen University is boasted by the Chinese netizen as the most beautiful campus in China.
The College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Xiamen has a strong research track record in many areas of chemical science and technology, with a particular emphasis on physical chemistry including electrochemistry, catalysis and theoretical chemistry. The College embraces two major national research platforms, the State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces (PCOSS) and the recently established Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials (2011-iChem).
