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 postdoc positions: Atomistic modeling for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries
Computational Materials Modeling Group at University of Illinois-Chicago has an immediate opening for two postdoctoral positions in atomistic/molecular modeling of interfacial phenomena in next generation of Li-ion batteries (including Li-Air, Li Sulfur and solid-state batteries). Postdoctoral appointments are on a one-year basis, with a maximum term of three years, subject to satisfactory research performance and continued availability of funding. Salary will be commensurate with experience, training, and qualifications.
Successful candidates will have demonstrated expertise in two or more of the following areas: Density Functional Theory, Ab initio Molecular Dynamics, Calssical/Reactive Molecular Dynamics. Excellent programming abilities (preferably in Python and Fortran), analytical skills, and knowledge of high-performance computing are also required. Experience with high-throughput computing, machine-learning methods, and optimization methods will be an added advantage. Prior experience with battery or other electrochemical materials is advantageous.
Interested candidates should send their (1) CV containing a list of publications, (2) a cover letter describing their background, key research accomplishments, and capability pertaining to modeling electrochemical systems, and (3) names, email, and telephone numbers of three references by email to ([email protected]).
