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 on ab initio calculations ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a two-year ANR-funded postdoctoral position in the Quantum Modeling Group (http://crm2.univ-lorraine.fr/lab/en/research/mq/) at the University of Lorraine (Nancy, Farnce) under the supervision of Dr. Dario Rocca and Dr. Sébastien Lebègue. The position is available from January 2016 but starting date is negotiable.
The research project is based on algorithms and methodologies recently developed within the Quantum Modeling Group to compute the correlation energy within the random phase approximation and beyond. The successful candidate will apply these new ab initio methods to challenging problems in materials science and chemistry, in particular involving the stability of molecular crystal polymorphs and problems of surface catalysis. Depending on the candidate’s interest and background they will have the opportunity to participate in methodological development.
Candidates should have completed a PhD in physics or chemistry and should have a background in the domain of electronic structure calculations. Experience with plane-wave codes, ab initio Green's function methods, and programming preferred.
Interested candidates should send a copy of their CV (including a list of publications and references) to Dr. Dario Rocca by email: [email protected].
