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 Atomistic Modelling and Computational Simulations group at CIC energiGUNE is searching for a Postdoctoral researcher to engage in the research and development of solid-state inorganic electrolytes for rechargeable batteries within the framework of two recently granted Horizon EU projects (SEATBELT and HELENA).

The role of the selected candidate will include applying state-of-the-art computational techniques combining interatomic potentials with quantum-mechanical calculations to model Li-ion transport in inorganic solid electrolytes at the atomic level. The candidate will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative team of theorists and experimentalists from condensed matter, materials, and chemical sciences.

We offer a 24-month contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.

How to apply:

All applicants are invited to submit detailed curriculum vitae, the contact information of at least two references and a cover letter detailing specific experience and scientific interests at this webpage: https://cicenergigune.com/en/employment-opportunities/91123611.

The selection process will remain open until a suitable candidate is selected.

Requirements:

  • PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics or other related topics in which the selected candidate can work autonomously.
  • Strong background (at least two years of previous experience as demonstrated, for instance, by first author publications) in Solid-State Physics/Chemistry and Quantum Chemistry applied to inorganic solids.
  • High expertise in density functional theory electronic structure calculations is required.
  • Good expertise in molecular dynamics simulations will be an asset.
  • Experience with machine learning algorithms and/or network science is strongly preferred.
  • Aptitude in mathematical modelling of electrochemical cells using PDEs or systems of ODEs using COMSOL multi-physics, or equivalent software, will be an asset.
  • The candidate should be able to work independently and as part of a team, as well as to have very good English skills.
  • The selected candidate must be able to communicate effectively in a multidisciplinary environment.

 

CIC energiGUNE is located close to the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), in the heart of the Basque Country. The Basque Country is the region with the highest R&D investment in Spain, with more than 20.000 researchers. The basque research ecosystem comprises a solid and collaborating community composed of universities, technology and cooperative research centers.
