Dear Psi-k’ers,

this is to announce the opening of two tenure-track scientist positions in the Laboratory of Materials Simulations (https://www.psi.ch/en/lms) that I direct at the Paul Scherrer Institute.  These will lead to permanent appointments after a successful evaluation within a maximum of 5 years.

The positions will be in the group “Materials Software and Data”, led by Dr. Giovanni Pizzi, and will be dedicated to the development, application, and dissemination of electronic-structure simulations.

All information can be found at these links below; one of the two position is focused on ground-state properties, and the other at excited-state properties:

https://www.psi.ch/en/pa/job-opportunities/55172-scientist-tenure-track-electronic-structure-simulations-of-excited-state

In both cases, a key metric will be “Proven capabilities in the development and dissemination of advanced electronic-structure methods, and in their application to characterize the ground and/or excited states of complex materials”, together with extensive postdoctoral experience. The pdf of the two job ads are also linked to the Psi-k post. 

Deadline for application is Jan 31 2023.

Many thanks for your attention,

Nicola Marzari
