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 Researcher (f/m/d): Multiscale Sim ... (No replies)

The Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) is a German-Polish research center for data-intensive digital systems research. For more information visit https://www.casus.science/.
We are looking for a motivated candidate interested in performing multiscale simulations for matter under extreme conditions.
The Scope of Your Job
Your primary objective is to perform multiscale simulations for computing magneto-elastic materials properties and predicting phenomena in both ambient and high energy density (HED) matter. You will utilize a novel, data-driven simulation framework. It is built around the LAMMPS code which drives large-scale spin-lattice dynamics simulations. You will support modeling of phenomena that emerge in fusion reactor walls, in cores of planets, and in components of novel energy storage devices. Likewise, your numerical modeling will support the exploration of novel physics in X-Ray scattering experiments including pulsed magnetic fields conducted at HIBEF and HLD.
Your research activities will include (1) generating training data using first-principles methods; (2) generating interatomic potentials and spin models from training data; (3) running large-scale spin-lattice dynamics simulations; (4) performing data analysis of the simulation outputs for materials properties predictions.
You will work closely with scientists at CASUS who develop and apply numerical methodologies for materials science including quantum Monte Carlo, (time-dependent) density functional theory, quantum hydrodynamics, average-atom models, and machine learning. You will carry out your research in collaboration with our partners at international research institutions. Your project will contribute to the ambitious long-term goal of achieving a more accurate and consistent understanding of HED phenomena across multiple length and time scales.
