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.

A post-doctoral and a software engineer position will soon be available at IOM-CNR, Trieste, Italy, funded by the MaX - Materials at the exascale EU Horizon2020 Centre of Excellence. Both positions are fixed-term, initially for one year, renewable for another year. The successful candidates must have a PhD in science, research experience in computer simulations and in scientific software programming. Experience with density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, especially with the plane wave-pseudopotential method, is a plus.

The successful candidates will work on the Quantum ESPRESSO software distribution, notably in one or more of the following fields, depending upon his/her skill set:
- developments of new methods and algorithms for advanced DFT functionals;
- reorganisation and modularisation of the code basis, notably for first-principle molecular dynamics, linear response, computational spectroscopy;
- porting of Quantum ESPRESSO  new heterogeneous accelerated architectures (e.g., GPUs);
- improvement of Quantum ESPRESSO user experience, users’ and developers’ documentation, testing.
The work requires coordination and interactions with the Quantum ESPRESSO users' and developers' community and with the activities of MaX EU Center of Excellence.

Interested candidates are invited to contact Paolo Giannozzi [email protected]>.
