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.

A postdoctoral research position to work in the field of hybrid classical-quantum computation is available at Institute of Nanoscience, National Research Council of Italy, Modena, Italy ( https://www.nano.cnr.it/ ). The focus of the research project includes: development of novel quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry and density functional theory; application of quantum computers to determine energies and wave functions of selected molecules; investigation of entanglement in many-particle systems. 

The postdoctoral researcher will work under the scientific guidance of Dr. F. Troiani, Dr. S. Pittalis, and Dr. R. Di Felice at CNRNANO. The project is in collaboration with the Universities of L’Aquila, Padova, and Southern California.

The position can be activated from April 2024 for one year and, upon funding availability, may be extended for up to another year. 

 

 

Job requirements include:

 

- Ph.D. degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or closely related field

- Experience with electronic structure computational methods 

- Experience with quantum computing algorithms

- Programming skills (Fortran, C++, and Python)

- Excellent oral and written communication skills

- Ability to work independently as well as in team

 

Review of applications will begin immediately. Interested candidates are invited to send an application letter including a CV to [email protected]
