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.

The Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP), an NSF physics frontiers center, and Southern University and A&M College (SU) invite applications for a post-doctoral position in the application and development of computational methods to study matter at extreme conditions of high pressure and temperature, including high-energy-density quantum matter and materials under ion radiation environments. This collaboration is part of the Partnership for Research and Education on Molecules at High Pressures between CMAP and SU NSF and NNSA projects. The research project will focus on the exploration of the P-T phase diagram of H2O/He/H2 and hydrides, ion implantation on multi-component alloys, as well as planetary materials. The postdoctoral fellow will carry out first-principles calculations to understand extreme chemistry, and study the revolutionary properties of these materials, in close collaboration with leading experimentalists in static and dynamic compression.
The candidate will collaborate closely with the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) and Southern University and A&M College. For this position, the institution at which the candidate takes primary residence is negotiable. We expect the candidate to interact broadly with the CMAP team. The CMAP NSF physics frontiers center is a collaboration between U. Rochester, Princeton, UC Davis, MIT, UB, and UC Berkeley, for which the team members communicate weekly. Some travel among the partner universities is required.
Candidates for this position should have a Ph.D. by the start date in condensed matter physics, computational chemistry, computational physics, or a related discipline. Good communication and writing skills in English are required.
The position will be for 1 year with the possibility of extension depending upon performance and funding. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Please email inquiries regarding these positions to [email protected] or [email protected] and indicate your project preference(s) and relevant experience. If it appears that we have compatible research interests we will subsequently ask you to arrange for two letters of recommendation from current and former research supervisors.
The collaborating institutions are Equal Opportunity Employers and have strong commitments to diversity and actively encourage applications from candidates from groups underrepresented in higher education. SU is one of the largest historically black colleges and universities in the nation and has strong goals to increase the research and education participation of underrepresented minorities.
