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.

Two more 2-year postdoctoral positions focusing on the computational/theoretical design of materials for metal-ion batteries at Qingyuan Innovation Laboratory, China, are available under Dr. Oleksandr Malyi's supervision.
Key Responsibilities & Qualifications:
Develop and advance the understanding of electronic structure theory.
Code and modify computational tools using Python.
Work closely on first-principles theory-related projects and collaborate with leading experimental/theoretical groups.
Contribute to research in solid-state physics.
Note: This role is best suited for those with hands-on experience and not just users of well-known software.
Requirements:
A PhD or equivalent in a related field.
Proficient in Python programming.
Deep knowledge of electronic structure theory.
Strong foundational understanding of solid-state physics.
Age under or equal to 35 years.
Desire to work hard and be a team player.
What We Offer:
Competitive salary ranging from 340-480 kRMB (43-62kEURO).
Complimentary free accommodation at the Qingyuan Innovation Laboratory.
An initial commitment of two years with prospects of transitioning into long-term roles, including positions like assistant or associate professorships.
Collaborative environment and the possibility to work with world-leading experimental and theoretical groups.
Strong support from principal investigators.
