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.

We are seeking a strongly motivated post-doctoral researcher to take in charge DFT Modelling for depicting complex chemistries at metal oxide surfaces and interfaces. Position is in Toulouse (LAAS-CNRS laboratory), under the supervision of A. Estève. The fellowship is funded by two ERC programs (Pyrosafe; 3DCap) and will start at the earliest convenience.

The post-doc researcher will be fully involved within a highly multi-disciplinary team (physics, chemistry and electrochemistry, experimentalists and technologists) working on the development of multifunctional & performance-tailored nanomaterials for energy applications.

The project has two scientific objectives:

  • study decomposition scenarii of CuO under different surface environments (clusters of metal, metal oxides and alloys). The aim is to quantify fundamental aspects of the multiple reaction steps of thermite materials (application leaded by C. Rossi at LAAS, France and prof. Dreizin at NJIT, USA)
  • study the hydrogen transport through hydrous ruthenium oxide having nanopores for supercapacitance applications (application leaded by D. Pech).

In both cases, the questions raised are of great scientific and technological interest and should lead to impactful results. The applicant will work in close collaboration with researchers located in USA (UTD, NJIT) Toulouse (LCC, CIRIMAT, CEMES), in the United States (New Jersey Institute of Technology) and in Canada (University of Montreal).

Required Education and Experience - A recent PhD degree (within last three years) in Materials Science, noticeably Chemistry or related disciplines is required. We seek for a strongly motivated student with strong background in computational materials sciences, with skills in manipulating Density Functional Theory codes : VASP mandatory, CP2K is a plus. The applicant should send a detailed CV, including a list of publications and communications and a motivation letter to [email protected]
