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.

Winton Advanced Research Fellowships (Group Leaders) in the Physics of Sustainability
Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge
 
Deadline for applications 17 October 2018
 
The Winton Advanced Research Fellowship scheme supports outstanding, scientists, providing generous support packages comparable to those for Assistant Professor positions to enable Fellows to establish and lead their own independent research group. We are looking for candidates with new ambitious programmes that expand the range of research activities within the Cavendish Laboratory, and welcome proposals that cross traditional boundaries between physics and other sciences and engineering disciplines.

Candidates are expected to be of the calibre that would be competitive for schemes such as the Royal Society University Research Fellowship (URF), European Research Council (ERC) Starting grants and Assistant Professorship positions across the world. Fellows are expected to win permanent posts in universities at the end of their fellowships. A list of the current Fellows and details of their broad range of research interests can be found at http://www.winton.phy.cam.ac.uk/directory/fellows.
 
Candidates will normally have completed at least one post-doctoral appointment and Fellowships will be of 5 years' duration with start-up funding available for:

  • Small and large equipment to enable new research directions to be started
  • Laboratory and computing facility set up costs and on-going operating expenses including access charges
  • Full funding for a graduate student with additional studentships available through Departmental allocations, Doctoral Training Centres and various Cambridge Scholarship schemes
  • Laboratory and office space for Fellow and their group members
  • Travel budget to build international collaborations and attend conferences
Proposed projects should be in new areas or take new approaches in established areas related to research in the broad field of the application of physics to sustainability.
 
Details of the Winton Programme can be found at http://www.winton.phy.cam.ac.uk/ and enquires and further information can be obtained by contacting the Winton Programme manager Dr Nalin Patel ([email protected]).
