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.

At the Institute of Energy and Climate Research – Theory and Computation of Energy Materials (IEK-13), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany, we contribute to fundamental understanding of electrochemical phenomena, development and characterization of tailored material solutions, and testing and optimization of new energy technologies. To achieve our goals, we bring to bear a diverse spectrum of methods and tools, from physical-mathematical theory and quantum mechanical simulations to continuum modelling. Our research program presents linkages for model evaluation by comparison with experiments, knowledge transfer to material design and development, and testing and analysis from materials to device level. Complementarily, we are developing an artificial intelligence-based platform for data analytics as well as materials design and development.
Economically viable and environmentally friendly hydrogen-based energy technologies, such as fuel cells and electrolysers, are of enormous strategic importance. Ionic polymers perform key functions in these technologies, both as solid membrane electrolytes and as components in porous electrodes. The newly hired scientist will fulfill a leading role in our programmatic research on this topic. He or she will develop theoretical and simulation-based methods to understand the aggregation and dispersion behaviour of next-generation ionomer materials from ground up and to make model-based predictions regarding their chemical and physical properties, including ionic conductivity and stability.
