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.

BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics is a world-class interdisciplinary research center located in Bilbao, Basque Country (Spain). The Modelling and Simulation in Life and Materials Science group (MSLMS) of Prof. Elena Akhmatskaya combines advanced statistical methods and numerical algorithms with parallel computation to investigate complex systems in biology, materials science, and nanotechnology.

We are looking for a research technician to work for 3 months (with possible extension, subject to performance review) on the atomistic modeling of electrode/electrolyte interfaces in lithium-ion batteries, employing reactive force fields. The researcher will set up and run simulations in LAMMPS or GROMACS, generate scripts for the post-processing of simulation trajectories and analyze and document his/her results. 

Requirements:

  • M.Sc. or B.Sc. degree in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, and related disciplines.
  • Good interpersonal skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research team.
  • Ability to effectively communicate and present research ideas to researchers and stakeholders with different backgrounds.
  • Fluency in spoken and written English.

Scientific Profile:

The preferred candidate will have:

  • Experience with the LAMMPS atomistic simulation package (knowledge of GROMACS is a plus).
  • Solid programming skills in either Python, C++, or Fortran.
  • Experience with Linux, bash scripts
  • Background knowledge on the simulation of interfaces and/or battery materials is desirable.

Applications are exclusively received through the online form:

http://www.bcamath.org/en/research/job/ic2022-08-research-technician-for-the-atomistic-simulation-of-interfaces-in-battery-materials

NOTE: You are required to upload a SCIENTIFIC RESULTS ACHIEVED AND RESEARCH STATEMENT declaration. If you do not have research experience and/or do not intend (to the best of your knowledge) to continue on a research path, please upload a short declaration stating these facts.

Deadline: October 14, 2022

If you have any inquiries regarding the application process, please contact [email protected].
