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.

Dear all,
a post-doctoral research associate positions is available at Imperial College London, Department of Chemistry, in the group of Dr. Clotilde Cucinotta <https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/c.cucinotta>
Job title: Postdoctoral research associate in computational modelling of electrochemical interfaces at the nanoscale
Reference: NAT00717
Closing date: 31 August 2020
Salary Range: £40,215 – £47,579 plus benefits (depending on skills and experience)
Duration: two years, extensible under mutual agreement
Essential requirements: In-depth prior knowledge of DFT, electronic structure theory and/or molecular dynamics techniques. Having experience in using and/or developing CP2K code will be considered an advantage.
You will focus on applying and developing novel theoretical and computational methodology based on first principles to understand fundamental electrocatalytic phenomena at electrified interfaces of interest for energy and nanotechnology (e.g. water splitting). You will use a combination of state of the art and newly developed techniques, including ab-initio molecular dynamics and potential / free energy techniques. You will also benchmark and pioneer the non-equilibrium MD methods which are being developed within the group and may carry out minor implementation activities.
The post is funded through a prestigious multidisciplinary EPSRC Fellowship project<https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P033555/1>, to develop and apply new theoretical and computational methodologies for the ab-initio simulation of electrochemical materials and processes at the nanoscale, under operating conditions.
To apply you will need to complete an online application following the link below
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/jobs/description/NAT00717/research-associate-computational-modelling-electrochemical-interfaces-nanoscale/
and include a cover letter, a motivation statement (300 words max), a CV and the contact details of at least two referees.
Best Wishes,
Clotilde Cucinotta
