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.

Software Engineer / Software Scientist for Electronic-Structure Code Developments and Collaboration in Industry Projects
MS1P e.V. -- Berlin, Germany -- two 3-year full/part-time positions
The non-profit association MS1P e.V. advances the efficient all-electron electronic-structure software FHI-aims, working with a wide range of users and developers in academia and in industry.
We are offering two 3-year full- or part-time positions that are intended to become permanent.
You are a motivated, excellent Software Developer with strong skills in electronic-structure methods, atomistic simulations, and software methodologies, and you will help to advance the FHI-aims electronic-structure code as a primary platform for density-functional, many-body perturbation theory, and quantum chemistry calculations, improving the links to artificial intelligence methods.
We have two openings for Software Engineer / Software Scientist positions with a focus on collaborations with industry. Your workplace will be at Duke University in North Carolina (Volker Blum) or at the NOMAD Laboratory at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin (Matthias Scheffler). You are free to choose.
We're committed to diversity and inclusion.
Responsibilities:
You will work in the center of the FHI-aims code,
- Assisting with new code releases and issues related to code stability, usability, and performance
- Help with integrating contributions from other developers
- Help with integrating FHI-aims with the broader ecosystem of open-source software developments surrounding electronic-structure theory
- Work on projects with colleagues from industry related to their use of FHI-aims
- And more
Opportunities:
You will be embedded in a larger team working on developments such as:
- Massive parallelism (CPU and GPU) and exascale computing
- Advanced electronic-structure methods (GW, coupled-cluster theory for solids, QM/MM, and more)
- A graphical user interface, and workflows facilitated by external frameworks (e.g. ASE, Fireworks, GIMS)
- Artificial intelligence methods
Qualifications:
Your experience needs to include
- Fortran, C++, and Python programming
- High-performance computing and parallel programming
- Experience with current software development practices (e.g., git, CMake, continuous integration)
- Experience with emerging high-performance architectures, including GPUs
