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.

Back to Job listings...
The High-Performance Computing for Material Design group at the Department of Physics, Informatics and Mathematics (FIM) (http://www.fim.unimore.it) and the Department of Science and Methods of Engineering (http://www.dismi.unimore.it) have an opening for a Postdoctoral position in the area of atomistic modeling of interfacial phenomena in Li ion batteries. The initial appointment is for one year but can be extended upon mutual agreement and availability of funding, subject to satisfactory research performance. Salary will be commensurate with experience, training and qualifications: the amount of the monthly net salary will be in the range 1465.00 – 1870.00 euro.
The project involves use of material modeling (ab-initio, classical and ab-initio molecular dynamics and kinetic Monte Carlo) to simulate electrolyte and electrolyte-electrode interfaces to advance fundamental understanding of reaction chemistry, kinetics, and charge transfers, and enable predictive design of electrode/electrolyte interfaces for high-performance next-generation Li ion batteries. The project is partially funded by the European Commission through the EU-RIA Project Bat4ever and the researcher will work in strict collaboration with experimental groups and industrial companies in different Countries of Europe.
Successful candidates will hold a PhD degree in a relevant discipline (Computational Physics, Chemistry, Physics, Material Science or similar) and will have demonstrated expertise in two or more of the following areas: Density Functional Theory, Ab initio Molecular Dynamics, Classical Molecular Dynamics, Advanced Sampling methods, and optimization methods. Programming and analytical skills, and knowledge of high performance computing are desirable.
The deadline for the expression of interest is August 31th, 2021.
Interested candidates should send their (a) CV containing a list of publications, (b) a cover letter describing their background, key research accomplishments, and capability in modelling material systems, and (c) names, email, and telephone numbers of three references by email to Prof. Rita Magri ([email protected]).
