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 postdoctoral positions in ab initio modellin ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Nanoscience Institute of the National Research Council (CNR-NANO) is looking for two postdoctoral candidates working in the field of ab initio modelling of materials and interfacial processes in Li-ion batteries, including simulation of spectroscopies for direct comparison with experimental results. The research activity builds in the context of the European BIG-MAP project (Battery Interface Genome – Materials Acceleration Platform, http://www.big-map.eu), under the long-term Battery2030+ initiative, and of the regional project SUPER.
Research group: The postdoctoral fellows will work at the S3 Center of the Nanoscience Institute of CNR (Modena, Italy), under the supervision of: Dr. Deborah Prezzi (ORCID 0000-0002-7294-7450), Dr. Ivan Marri (ResearcherID M-5159-2013) and prof. Elisa Molinari (ORCID 0000-0002-0692-6096). Further info on the personal webpages at: http://www.nano.cnr.it/?mod=men&id=102. Moreover, they will benefit from the connection with and the lively environment fostered by the MaX Centre of Excellence for MAterials design at the eXascale (http://www.max-centre.eu), including support for the usage of MaX flagship codes.
Candidate profile: Successful applicants should hold a Ph.D. in computational or theoretical physics / chemistry / materials science, with a solid background in modelling structural and electronic properties of materials with state-of-the-art ab-initio methods (density functional theory, ab-intio molecular dynamics). Prior knowledge and experience of calculation of excited-state properties (within many-body perturbation theory/GW approximation or other approaches) as well as in high-performance computing are an advantage. Demonstrated coding skills are appreciated. Very good oral and written proficiency in English is compulsory.
Duration: starting with a 1-year appointment, renewable upon mutual agreement up to three years
Information and application: To apply, please write to deborah.prezzi@max-centre.eu providing: (i) cover letter with a short motivation statement, (ii) curriculum vitae (including research interests and accomplishments, full publications list, relevant certificates/diplomas/awards list) and (iii) full contact details of two referees supporting the application. Selected candidates will be interviewed via teleconf.
