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.

Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
Postdoctoral Researcher in Single Molecule Spectroscopy
Aim: Develop a single molecule method to map electronic structures of complex biomolecules on surface.
Fields: Single molecule imaging, Physical analytical chemistry, Glycoscience.
Techniques: Electrospray ion beam deposition (ESIBD), Low temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy (LT STM), Density functional theory (DFT), Nanoelectrospray, Nuclear-electronic structure correlations.
We offer:
Your project: Develop a single molecule spectroscopy method using LT STM to achieve chemical-sensitive single molecule imaging of glycoconjugate molecules (glycoproteins, glycolipids, etc.) soft landed on surface by ESIBD technique; and develop a model based on DFT to interpret the observations.
We seek someone who is:
Curious, enthusiastic, team oriented, fluent and articulate in oral and written English, a holder of PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent. Knowledge/skill in low temperature scanning probe microscopy and spectroscopy, ultrahigh vacuum systems, native electrospray, glycoscience, and/or ab initio calculations is advantageous.
Your project: Develop a single molecule spectroscopy method using LT STM to achieve chemical-sensitive single molecule imaging of glycoconjugate molecules (glycoproteins, glycolipids, etc.) soft landed on surface by ESIBD technique; and develop a model based on DFT to interpret the observations.
To apply:
Please email Dr. Kelvin Anggara ([email protected]) using the title ‘GlycoX_PDF’ and submit as a single PDF: (i) one-page motivation letter (explain in specifics why this lab and how this position further your career) and (ii) CV (include publication list, research description, and contacts of two referees).
Earliest possible starting date is 1st May, 2023. Review of applications begins immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The Max Planck Society endeavors to achieve gender equality and diversity. We seek to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourage women to apply. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from individuals with disabilities.
