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.

Presidential PhD Fellowship in Simulations of Materials at Extreme Conditions
We are seeking exceptional candidates for the USF Presidential PhD Fellowship who are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in the field of Simulations of Materials at Extreme Conditions. The USF Presidential Fellows Program, an elite and prestigious scholarship opportunity, recruits the most outstanding students worldwide to pursue Ph.D. studies at the University of South Florida.
We are looking for an academically outstanding candidate who is interested in cutting-edge research to study the non-equilibrium high-pressure-temperature processes that occur in exoplanet interiors, inertial confinement fusion implosions, and dynamic compression of condensed matter. We use a powerful arsenal of materials simulation techniques, including quantum molecular dynamics and machine-learning molecular dynamics simulations on exascale supercomputers. The successful Presidential fellow will have an exceptional opportunity to work at the exciting frontiers of high-energy density materials science and collaborate with leading researchers in the field. He/she will contribute to experimental and computational campaigns at national and international user facilities by providing simulation guidance to discovery science experiments. More information about current research projects can be found at: http://msl.cas.usf.edu/
The USF Presidential Fellowship provides a generous support package to highly qualified incoming Ph.D. students, including an enhanced stipend, full tuition remission, medical insurance, and travel funds to attend conferences for up to five years. The primary selection criterion is the excellence of the applicant. All components of a student’s application dossier are considered, including letters of recommendation, publications, past prizes, awards and recognitions, and undergraduate/master GPAs.
In addition to the above criteria, the applicant must have at least a BSc degree in Physics, Materials Science, or a closely related field (a master's degree is preferred). They should demonstrate accomplishments in computational materials, as evidenced by peer-reviewed journal articles, excellent oral and written communication skills, and a strong motivation to push the boundaries of science and engineering.
For full consideration, applicants must send a CV, including a list of publications and names of three references, as well as a one-page description of prior research experience to Prof. Ivan Oleynik ([email protected]). Due to the highly competitive nature of the Presidential Fellowship, interested candidates should apply as soon as possible.
