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.

Back to Job listings...
Two postdoctoral positions are available in computational discovery of molecular materials, working with Prof. Graeme Day at the University of Southampton (http://www.crystalstructureprediction.net). Applications are invited from candidates with skills to work on the integration of chemical space exploration with crystal structure and property prediction.
Both posts are available initially for 3 years and are funded by a European Research Council Synergy Grant. The project, ADAM – Autonomous Discovery of Advanced Materials – brings together state-of-the-art predictive computational chemistry methods, robotics, machine learning and materials characterisation through a collaboration between research groups at the universities of Southampton, Liverpool and Rostock.
Candidates should apply through the https://jobs.soton.ac.uk website, job reference 1359721EB-R: https://jobs.soton.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?ref=1359721EB-R .
The closing date is 2 December, 2021.
