PhD position

PhD postion at Uppsala University: First-principles Studies of Energy Materials

Applications are invited for a PhD-student position in computational materials science at the Division of Materials theory, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Uppsala University, Sweden (http://www.physics.uu.se/research/materials-theory/). The candidate will work on ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations and spectroscopy calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT), to investigate water-solid interfaces at atomic scale. The focus of the work will be the theoretical study of water oxidation and CO2 reduction reactions, which are relevant chemical reactions during the solar fuel production. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental groups in a joint theory-experiment effort to develop operando spectroscopy methodologies, based on synchrotron spectroscopy, to study energy materials.
The Division of Materials theory is known to have a world-class research environment in the ab-initio computational research on the materials properties. Besides the usage of existing state-of-the-art computational codes, a perpetual development of new methods and computational techniques is done in this department. The Division of Materials Theory is an international environment with an extended net of worldwide collaborations.
The applicant is expected to have a master degree in Physics, or equivalent. A background in methods based on density functional theory (DFT), along with their software implementations, is recommended. The candidate should have good communication skills, excellent grades and developed abilities in written and spoken English.
The application should be submitted through the following link:
For more information contact Dr. Moyses Araujo, moyses.araujo@physics.uu.se, or Dr. Barbara Brena, barbara.brena@physics.uu.se.
This position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.

Scientist

Simulating magnetic materials with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction There is an immediate opening for a Scientist position in the Materials Science and Engineering Department, Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore. We are looking for a   candidate who is strong in magnetic materials simulations using density-functional theory. Our interest is to understand the formation of skyrmions, especially in the evaluation of   Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction parameters, and other important magnetic properties such as exchange and crystalline anisotropies. We welcome anyone who has a good track record of research to apply. The renumeration package, which is highly competitive, will be based on the research experience of the candidate. The first appointment will be for two years and renewable. Interested candidates may send their CVs and letters of recommendation to Dr. Chee-Kwan Gan at gan.cheekwan@gmail.com . The selection of the candidate will not stop unless the ...

Postdoctoral positions in computational materials science

Two postdoctoral positions in computational materials science are available at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz in the Theory Department, group of Denis Andrienko ( http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~andrienk/ ). The research project concerns combining atomistic simulations and quantum modeling of charge/exciton transport properties of organic light emitting diodes. The project is funded by European Union and is a part of a broad collaboration of nine industrial and academic partners. The initial contract will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to three years. Applicants should hold a PhD degree and have a strong background in physics, physical chemistry, or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming (C++) is essential. Interested scientists should send an application, a CV, and recommendation letters electronically to Dr. Denis Andrienko ( denis.andrienko@mpip-mainz.mpg.de ).  http://psi-k.net/jobs/postdoctoral-positions-in-computational-...
