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 machine learning force field development and cellulose simulation
There is an opening at Aalto University, Finland, at the postdoctoral level to work on developing machine learning force fields for CHO materials, and using these force fields to model cellulose pyrolysis. The position is at the group of Dr. Miguel Caro at Aalto, and may also involve participating in the development of the TurboGAP code.
The successful candidate should be familiar with some of the following areas (the more, the better): atomistic simulation based on DFT, molecular dynamics, force field development, atomistic simulation software development, and cellulose and/or nanocarbon simulation. The ability to script (in Python and/or bash) and familiarity with high-performance computing (HPC) environments are expected. Scientific coding skills (e.g., in C/C++/Fortran) and knowledge of high-throughput workflows are not necessary but will be positively taken into account when shotlisting candidates. Only candidates who obtained their PhD degree within the five years prior to commencement of employment can be considered.
Funding for this position is available from November 2021 until August 2023. Further extensions are contingent on funding availability and mutual satisfaction. The preferred starting date is November 1st 2021, although earlier and later dates can be discussed.
