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 Research Associate in Computational Materials Chemistry
Department of Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational Materials Chemistry to work under the supervision of Professor Volker Deringer for a period of one year in the first instance. The project involves atomistic computer simulations of chemically functionalised graphene materials (“graphene oxide”), using a combination of density-functional theory and machine-learning techniques. The aim is to generate highly accurate atomic-scale structural models in large-scale simulations, thereby gaining fundamental insight and allowing for new connections with experimental research to be developed. This project is supported by an EPSRC New Investigator Award.
Applicants must hold a PhD in chemistry, materials science, or a related subject area (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in computational chemistry, specifically with solid-state density-functional theory computations, and with their application either to inorganic or molecular materials. Experience with machine-learning methods and Python programming is helpful, but not a requirement. The postholder will be expected to manage their own research and administrative activities, involving small-scale project management, and the coordination of multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.
The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory, South Parks Road, Oxford and is available as soon as possible.
