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: Molecular simulations of Capacitive deionisation
Terms and location:
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at Department of Physics at Faculty of Science of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice (Czech Republic).
The position for a postdoc working on an awarded project “Capacitive Deionisation: Insights from Molecular Modelling” is open immediately. The duration of this project funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) is 04/2021-03/2024.
The position is offered initially for two years with possible extension till 03/2024 (or longer in case of obtaining a new project).
Information about the Principle Investigator of the project, Milan Predota, can be found here:

The successful candidate will play an important role in performing equilibrium and non-equilibrium classical molecular dynamics simulations of aqueous solutions under electric field in contact with membrane and wall surfaces, studying the adsorption, dynamics and separation efficiency.
Goal of the project: Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of Capacitive deionisation, systematic study of factors affecting its performance, computational design and investigation of model systems relevant for advancement of this promising technique of water desalination.
Requirements:
- A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field, obtained not before Apr 1 2013 (extensions apply due to maternity and parental leave, and sick leave in the case of a long-term illness)
- A strong background in computational physics or chemistry
- Proficiency in programming of scientific codes (best in FORTRAN, C)
- Proficiency in molecular dynamics (best in LAMMPS, Gromacs)
- Excellent communication skills and a career level-appropriate publication track record
- The ability to work independently and collaboratively in a diverse research team
- Experience with ab initio calculations (CP2K, VASP) is advantageous (optimization of interaction parameters), but not necessary
Applications:
The project will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Milan Predota, [email protected], to whom the applications should be submitted. The applications should include:
For further information about the position, please feel free to directly contact Milan Predota. Use “Postdoc-CDI” as subject in your e-mail communication.
Preview of applications begins immediately. Applications are accepted until the position is filled.
