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 in Computational Materials Sci ... (1 reply)
This is Malik Waqar Arshad, an expected PhD graduate student (08/31/2022) of the University of Science and Technology (UST), Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), South Korea. I am writing to express my sincere interest in the Postdoctoral Research Fellow Opportunity in your Lab. I strongly believe the nature of my research relates to your lab’s research goals because of my electronic structure (DFT) calculation and Machine Learning (minor) research expertise.
Back to Job listings...
Two Ph.D. positions are available in the Computational Materials Science (CMS) group of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the George Washington University. The CMS group, led by Prof. Tianshu Li, works on a variety of materials related research topics that mainly fall under the heading of materials theory. For further information about our research, please visit https://blogs.gwu.edu/tsli/research/. The position will start in Fall 2022.
One position will be focused on method development and implementation for modeling crystal nucleation. The CMS group is working closely with another team to deploy a LAMMPS based, large-scale computational suite that integrates advanced sampling methods to model crystal nucleation and growth under realistic conditions. The infrastructure will enable broad applications in materials synthesis, surface engineering, membrane fouling, and inorganic mineralization.
The other position will be focused on gaining a fundamental understanding of the structures and properties of medium-entropy and high-entropy alloys. The CMS group is collaborating with experimentalists in other institutions to deploy next generation materials for mid-infrared applications including sensing, security, and autonomous vehicles. We are particularly interested in developing theory of short-range chemical order in medium-entropy alloy and high-entropy alloy.
The qualified applicants should have a good GPA for admission and a strong interest in molecular modeling and theory. Experience in coding using C++, Python, and/or other computer languages under Unix/Linux environment is strongly preferred. Interested candidate should send CV and transcript to Dr. Li ([email protected])
