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.
Postdocs at Argonne National Laboratory and Univ ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Materials (MICCoM, http://miccom-center.org) is looking for two postdoctoral researchers to join the development teams located at Argonne National Laboratory and University of California, Davis (U.S.A.).
These positions are sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy within the context of a broad project aimed at enabling exascale calculations of materials properties. The postdoctoral researchers will primarily work with Prof. G. Galli, Prof. F. Gygi and Dr. M. Govoni, and with a team of 10+ PhDs/postdocs contributing to the development of codes currently supported by MICCoM (http://miccom-center.org/software.html).
Excellent candidates are sought with experience in the development of complex scientific software architectures to support the development and deployment of MICCoM codes on pre- and exascale architectures. The candidate will port to GPUs the software for electronic structure (WEST, http://west-code.org) and/or molecular dynamics (Qbox, http://qboxcode.org) calculations.
The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. The position at Argonne National Laboratory may lead to subsequent employment in a software scientist role, depending on performance and mutual interest.
Major duties and responsibilities:
Position Requirements:
Skills and experience:
A scientific background in physical, chemical-physical or engineering sciences, and an expertise in molecular dynamics and/or in electronic structure codes is preferred. Basic knowledge of the internal functioning of MICCoM codes would be an advantage but is not required. Typical candidates will be independent and motivated individuals with MSc or PhD in Materials Science, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry or Chemical Engineering or comparable skills and experience.
For inquiries and applications, please contact Giulia Galli ([email protected]), Marco Govoni ([email protected]), and Francois Gygi ([email protected]).
