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.

Position Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Mellon College of Science: Computational Condensed Matter Physics/Materials Science
Location: Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA
Application deadline: June 30th, 2022
Position Description:
The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) and Department of Physics in the Mellon College of Science at Carnegie Mellon University are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join an NSF funded Characteristic Science Applications (CSA) project for “First principles investigation of disorder and electron localization in real materials.” This project aims to develop and implement high performance computational methods in the software framework of the MuST package (https://github.com/mstsuite/MuST/wiki/MuST-Framework-Project), an ab initio, all-electron, electronic structure calculation code based on full-potential multiple scattering theory and the Green function technique.
The Postdoctoral Researcher is expected to carry out the project in collaboration with Dr. Yang Wang (PSC), Prof. Mike Widom (Department of Physics), and a team of the MuST project collaborators. Carnegie Mellon University offers a vibrant interdisciplinary research environment which provides an excellent space and resources for professional career development. The Postdoctoral Researcher will not only engage in methodology development, high performance computing, and real-world problem applications, but will also have the opportunity to collaborate with the many-body theory experts.
This postdoctoral appointment will be for two years, with potential for renewal for another two years, contingent upon satisfactory achievements. We seek excellence within a respectful, inclusive University context. Carnegie Mellon University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. We are committed to increasing the diversity of our community on a range of intellectual and cultural dimensions.
Qualifications:
Applicants should hold the degree of Ph.D. in the field of condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, or computational materials science or engineering, and should have expertise in ab initio electronic structure calculations. Strong background in parallel programming in Fortran or C/C++ is required. Skills in programming openMP/openACC/KOKKOS/CUDA/HIPS are desired.
Application Instructions:
Applications should be uploaded to the interfolio website (http://apply.interfolio.com/106732) and must include a curriculum vitae, publication list and a statement of research interests. Please arrange at least two reference letters sent to Yang Wang ([email protected]) and/or Mike Widom ([email protected]).
Anticipated Start Date: Immediate
Position Term Length: 2 year
