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 Position in First Principles Calcul ... (1 reply)
Hello :
I'm very interested for this Postdoctoral Position.
Back to Job listings...
Postdoctoral Position in First Principles Calculations of Materials at Extreme Conditions - State University of New York at Buffalo, USA
A postdoctoral position funded by the "Capital/Department of Energy Alliance Center" (CDAC - https://cdac.seas.gwu.edu/) is available in the group of Eva Zurek (https://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~ezurek/). Ideally, the postdoctoral associate should be a US citizen or permanent resident, however applicants from countries that are not deemed to be sensitive by the DOE may be considered.
The project can entail one (or a combination) of the following:
- development and/or application of algorithms for crystal structure prediction
- first-principles molecular dynamics simulations of matter at conditions of extreme temperatures and pressures
- studies of the chemical bonding and properties of compressed matter
Collaboration with the theoretical/computational groups within the NNSA laboratories as well as other CDAC member groups will be encouraged and supported.
The starting date is on, or after, 7/1/19. The initial contract will be for one year, with a possible extension for another year upon mutual agreement and availability of funds.
A PhD in computational chemistry, solid state physics, or a closely related area is required. I am looking for a creative individual whose strength lies in the application of periodic and molecular program packages (first principles, DFT and others). Good communication and writing skills in English are required.
Buffalo is a lively city located in the western part of the State of New York, USA, near the Canadian border. The greater Buffalo area has a population of about a million. There are many local attractions, galleries and museums, annual events and festivals, and recreational sites within easy reach. E.g. the nearest skiing resorts as well as the Niagara Falls are reached by car within 30 to 45 minutes. During the winter we are blessed with descent amounts of good
quality snow for winter sports. Across the Canadian border, Toronto is close enough for a day trip.
If you wish to apply for the position please email your resume to [email protected]. If it appears that we have compatible research interests I will subsequently ask you to arrange for two letters of recommendation from current and former research supervisors to be emailed to me.
