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.

Post-doctoral position in
Quantum Computing Applications in Chemistry and Materials Science
The postdoctoral researcher, appointed for 2 years, will be responsible for developing new algorithms for the design and optimization of variational wavefunctions that can be implemented on NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) computers, using methods such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver. The candidate should hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science or related topics.
The research is part of a National Interest Research Project (PRIN) led by the University of L'Aquila, with the aim of developing classical and quantum methodologies for studying the electronic structure of molecular systems. The research will be carried out in collaboration with other members of the Quantum Computing research group at the University of L'Aquila and of the other universities involved in the PRIN network (Univ. Padua, CNR Modena and Univ. of Ferrara).
Applications should be received before November 16th 2023.
