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 PhD positions at the University of Luxembour ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Two PhD positions are available in the group for Theoretical Chemical Physics (TCP, http://www.tcpunilu.com) led by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko in the Physics and Materials Science (PhyMS) Department at the University of Luxembourg (http://wwwen.uni.lu/recherche/fstc/physics_and_materials_science_research_unit/research_areas/theoretical_chemical_physics)
The successful candidates will join a strong and highly-motivated research team with an excellent funding track-record in competitive national, international and European grants, including the recently funded European Research Council Consolidator Grant “Beyond Static Molecules: Modeling Quantum Fluctuations in Complex Molecular Environments”.
The scientific topics of research range from machine learning approaches for describing molecular potential-energy surfaces, development of improved quantum methods for the description of non-covalent interactions, path-integral approaches to nuclear quantum effects (including the molecular Aharonov-Bohm effect), and synergies between these methods to interpret puzzling experimental observations and predict new phenomena in complex molecular systems.
The University of Luxembourg is a young, dynamic, and well-funded university and is rapidly growing in international rankings. Luxembourg is a small European country with a very high quality of living and is bordered by France, Belgium, and Germany.
The positions are open to strong applicants with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and/or multidisciplinary background. UL and PhyMS strive to increase the share of female PhD students. Therefore, we explicitly encourage women to apply. We offer competitive salary and attractive working environment in one of the most enjoyable European cities (http://www.euraxess.lu).
