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 Calculations of Materials at Extreme Conditions, State University of New York at Buffalo, USA
Postdoctoral positions are available in the group of Eva Zurek (https://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~ezurek/) to theoretically study high energy density quantum matter, as well as the behavior of matter at the extreme conditions within which most of the visible matter in the universe resides. The latter will be carried out as part of The Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures (CMAP), which is a newly funded National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center (https://www.rochester.edu/cmap/). The postdoctoral fellows will carry out first-principles calculations to predict novel superconducting, planetary and quantum materials, as well as their revolutionary properties, and collaborate closely with leading experimentalists in static and dynamic compression.
The project can entail one (or a combination) of the following:
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The initial contract will be for one year, with a possible extension upon mutual agreement.
A PhD in computational chemistry, solid state physics, materials science, 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.
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.
