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 only for Italian PhD gradu ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A computational research group is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to conduct research in the field of solar energy conversion. The position is open in the group of Prof. Maytal Caspary-Toroker from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. The candidate should have completed a PhD in an Italian University in the field of computational chemistry or physics and has experience with electronic structure methods. Preference will be given to candidates with background in Gaussian Package.
The joint Israel-Italian postdoctoral program is sponsored by the Israel Center of Excellence (I-CORE) Solar Fuels and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the framework of the Italian-Israeli Agreement on Industrial, Scientific and Technological Cooperation (ENEA). Its objective is to strengthen the bi-national cooperation in science and technology between Italy and Israel. The postdoctoral salary is therefore above the average granted at the Israeli Institute. The grant covers all travel and subsistence expenses for the duration of the fellowship and assistance with visas and housing will be provided.
Fellowships will be granted to young Italian postdocs coming from Universities and Research Institutions throughout the country to help open new paths towards excellence for young researchers, some of whom will eventually join the Italian research system.
The main objective of the “I-CORE Solar Fuels” is the R&D on innovative technologies for the generation of clean, efficient energy from renewable sources. Its research directions include biomass generation, solar water splitting technology as well as CO2 reduction, and the exploration of how molecular building blocks such as H2, CO, CO2, methanol and ethanol can be converted into larger, liquid fuel molecules. The I-CORE provides an unparalleled opportunity to advance this field on a national scale, through fruitful cooperation among institutions, and to leverage research in Israel and abroad. It is an important step towards the development of alternative fuels and reducing global dependence on oil.
