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.
Postdoctoral, PhD and MSc Positions in Atomistic ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for one post-doctoral position and for Phd, Msc positions in a collaborative research effort funded by the State of Sao Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP-Brazil) in partnership with the Max Planck Society in Germany, in the area of computational simulations of liquid-solid interfaces.
The project is centred on atomistic simulations of different aspects of electrochemistry. The candidate will work with ab initio (path integral) molecular dynamics techniques and density-functional theory. The candidate should be highly motivated to learn new skills and have a solid background on theoretical chemistry or theoretical solid state physics. They should have at least reasonable programming skills and be familiar with UNIX operating systems. The applicant should also be fluent in English (Portuguese is not necessary).
They will be supervised by Prof. Luana Pedroza (Max Planck Tandem Group Leader in Atomistic Simulations of Electrochemistry). Our group is especially interested in computer simulations of liquid/solid interfaces including both electronic structure and nuclear fluctuations, as well as including an external potential applied to the solid. The students will be based in UFABC and will have the possibility of spending time in the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society (Berlin, Germany) to collaborate with the group of Dr. Mariana Rossi (https://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/groups/sabia/) and experimental partners.
UFABC is a public university in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil, focused in science and technology. It was recently ranked in between the best Universities in Latin America, according to the Times Higher Education Ranking. It offers an excellent scientific environment and access to several research facilities and equipment.
