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 positions at Georgia Tech for DFT c ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
There are two openings for the position of post-doctoral scholar starting immediately for the US Department of Energy (DOE) Computational Chemical Sciences (CCS) project titled “SPARC-X: Quantum simulations at extreme scale --- reactive dynamics from first principles” at Georgia Institute of Technology. This is a four year interdisciplinary research project being led by Phanish Suryanarayana, Andrew J Medford, Edmond Chow, and Polo Chau in collaboration with John E Pask (LLNL). The objective of this research is to develop SPARC-X: a computational framework for performing Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations that scale linearly with the number of atoms in the system, leveraging machine-learning and petascale/exascale parallel computers to study chemical phenomena at unprecedented length and time scales. The position will involve interaction with leading researchers from a range of fields including electronic structure theory, numerical methods, high-performance computing, data visualization, and computational catalysis and will help prepare candidates for a range of future careers including academia, national laboratories, or industry.
Qualifications:
1) Ph.D. in any scientific or engineering discipline.
2) Significant expertise in C/C++, MPI programming, and scientific computing.
3) Knowledge of electronic structure theories and calculations.
4) Experience in software development including version control, testing, and documentation.
It is a three year research position, subject to funding and performance. Interested applicants should send a copy of their latest CV (with list of references, publications, and software development experience) to Phanish Suryanarayana ([email protected]) or Andrew J Medford ([email protected]) with the subject line: Postdoc DOE CCS 2018.
