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 in atomic-scale computational design of battery materials and interfaces
The section for Atomic Scale Materials Modelling at DTU Energy, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is looking for outstanding candidates for two, 2-year postdoc positions within the field of method development for accelerated design and discovery of next-generation sustainable battery materials and interfaces. The research projects are part of the European project BIG-MAP (Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform) under the large-scale, long-term European research initiative Battery 2030+ which seeks to reinvent the way we invent batteries. The BIG-MAP consortium is coordinated by DTU and brings together researchers across the battery discovery value chain from atoms to battery cells, totalling 34 partners from 15 countries and spanning world-leading academic experts, research laboratories and industry leaders.
Project description
The successful candidates will use a combination of electronic structure modelling, machine/deep learning algorithms and automated workflows to bridge different simulational codes and time/length scales in simulations and experiments on battery materials and interfaces. These positions are the first in the BIG-MAP project and will form the basis for the further work on the development of a closed-loop infrastructure for autonomous discovery of battery materials and interfaces. The aim of the projects is to:
Qualifications
Candidates should hold a PhD or equivalent degree in computer science, physics, chemistry or materials science. The candidate must have a strong background in computational chemistry, physics or materials science and/or machine learning, and are expected to have performed original scientific research within the relevant fields listed above for the specific position(s). Moreover, the successful candidate:
