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.

The Department “Electronic Structure Theory” of Prof. Ali Alavi at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany, announces two openings:
Two PhD Students in Development of Quantum-Chemical Approaches for Strongly Correlated Systems
Research Tasks:
Development and implementation of quantum-chemical approaches for strongly electron-correlated systems with main focus on transcorrelated and tailored coupled cluster methods in a combination with stochastic FCI. The methodologies will address the basis-set and static-correlation issues of electron-correlation methods aiming for highly accurate and systematically improvable methods for calculating ground- and excited-state energies and properties of molecular systems.
The projects will be rounded off by investigations of spin-state splittings and stabilization mechanisms of challenging organometallic compounds. The research will take place within a DFG-funded project headed by Dr. Daniel Kats.
The Department “Electronic Structure Theory” offers a stimulating scientific environment with over 20 PhD students and postdocs as well as extended computing resources.
Requirements:
The Max Planck PhD student work contracts will be for three years initially.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from individuals with disabilities. The Max-Planck-Gesellschaft endeavours to achieve gender equality and diversity. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
Please send your application with a CV to Dr. Daniel Kats at [email protected] by July 1st, 2021.
