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.

Two postdoctoral research associate positions are immediately available in Dr. Li Huang’s group at Department of Physics, Southern University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen. The successful candidate is expected to conduct research on one of the following topics: 1. Defects and carrier dynamics in energy materials and two dimensional materials; 2. Spin-lattice coupling in two dimensional materials; 3. Machine learning potentials for moire systems and metallic glasses. These studies will be in close collaboration with experimental groups and other computational groups. There is also flexibility to pursue other promising research directions of mutual interest. The required qualifications include a PhD degree in physics or closed related area, a strong background in the practice of first-principles calculations, as well as good oral and written communication skills. Candidates with experiences of using VASP, Wannier function methods, machine learning, bash/python scripting, and/or knowledge of ferroelectric materials/spintronics/valleytronics/topological insulators are highly anticipated. Interested applicants should send a cover letter and a CV including a list of publications, as well as contact information for at least one reference to [email protected] . The research work will be conducted under the guidance of Prof. Li Huang (https://huangl7.wixsite.com/ccmg) and Prof. Zhigang Gui (http://faculty.sustech.edu.cn/guizg/H-8616-2018/H-8616-2018 )
The annual salary will be in around 330, 000 RMB (~ 48 K USD), and there are also other benefits according to the university policies.
