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 novel complex nanoporou ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position in the newly founded Computational Biotechnology group at the RWTH-Aachen University in Germany is available. We offer a fixed-term contract up to two years.
Job Description
A bottom-up computational modeling of the structural, electronic, and biosensing properties of nanometer-sized pores in materials at the level of density functional theory, as well as ab initio and atomistic Molecular Dynamics is planned. The simulations will be supplemented by Machine Learning approaches for analyzing the simulation data, as well as relevant experimental data. The goal is to propose selective pore designs for detecting genomes and proteins. The outcome of this work will drive model-based discovery of novel materials with tunable properties.
Requirements
The position requires a university PhD degree in the Natural Sciences. Specifically, candidates with the following qualifications are encouraged to apply:
strong theoretical background in one of Physics/Chemistry/Biology
strong experience with quantum-mechanical and/or classical Molecular Dynamics simulations
experience with Machine Learning algorithms
above average academic achievements
enthusiasm to learn beyond your individual research topic
willingness to actively collaborate with other researchers and disseminate research in different formats.
Closing date is December 15, 2022. Please send your application together with all important documents CV, research statement, list of three referees) to Maria Fyta ([email protected]).
