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.

Anticipated start date: Spring 2023
Location: Los Angeles CA
A postdoctoral position is open in the labs of Prof. Shaama Mallikarjun Sharada in the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science and Prof. Travis Williams in the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute at the University of Southern California. The researcher will carry out computational and experimental studies to probe the selective activation of CH bonds in molecules ranging from methane to low-density polyethylene (LDPE). This research will involve the use of quantum chemistry methods to search and verify reaction transition states, calculate catalyst turnovers, and characterize interactions that govern activity and selectivity. Experimental analyses include high pressure kinetics, chemical synthesis, and chemical analysis.
Prof. Sharada will be the primary advisor and the researcher will be supervised by both Profs. Sharada and Williams.
Qualifications and Experience:
To apply, please email the PI ([email protected]) before Dec 1st 2022 with a CV, cover letter, statement of research interests, and names of three references.
