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.
(Post)doctoral position in catalysis from first ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Dear Psi-k'ers,
a postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Theory and Simulation of Materials (THEOS) and the National Centre for Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials (MARVEL), led by Prof. Nicola Marzari, to work on high-throughput screening of novel catalysts from first principles. The work will take place in close collaboration with experimental groups at the Paul Scherrer Institute and at ETHZ.
Candidates are sought with passion and commitment to the field and with a commensurate academic record. Expertise in the development and application of first-principles techniques is required; experience with high-throughput calculations and multiscale electrochemistry a plus (see e.g. [1] and [2]).
The laboratory offers a thriving intellectual environment and outstanding computational resources and facilities, together with the world-class environment of EPFL and the activities at CECAM headquarters.
Candidates should submit a full CV, including contacts for at least two references, and a cover letter of intent to [email protected] with “EPFL CAT application” in the subject line. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted individually for interviews, usually over Skype videoconferencing.
Initial salary for a freshly minted PhD is 81,400 CHF p/a (taxes ~25%). The position is renewable yearly, up to between 2 and 4 years. An outstanding doctoral candidate with expertise in the field could also be considered – in this case the position would be for 4 years (starting salary 51,700 CHF p/a).
