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.

Applications are invited for postdoctoral research positions in the computational theory group, center for high pressure science and technology advanced research (HPSTAR), Shanghai, China. Currently we seek one position for two years and it is possible to seek multiple researchers depending on the quality of applicants. The research topic of interest comprises 1) novel materials predictions for Energy challenge and 2) understanding of the composition of the deep lower mantle (DLM) conditions. For novel functional materials project, first principle based crystal structure predictions will be used and other relevant theoretical approaches such as GW, BSE, and harmonic/anharmonic phonon calculations will be used. For DLM research, starting from recently reported new iron oxide (FeO2), we plan to explain theoretically ternary or quaternary phase diagram at high-pressure conditions. Mostly LDA+U approach will be useful and DMFT calculations can be also conducted.
The successful candidates are required to possess a strong background in computational physics, materials science, computer sciences or other relevant disciplines, including a PhD in a relevant area. The salary range is 200 - 250 K RMB based on experience and qualifications.
To apply for this position, please provide a CV including contact details of two references, a full publication list, and a cover letter describing their suitability to Dr. Duck Young Kim ([email protected]).
