Dear Subscribers to QE Mailing List We welcome applications for the position below at University of Toronto ( http://light.utoronto.ca).
*Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Materials Science for Renewable Fuels and Feedstocks* *Description*: We invite applications to a postdoctoral fellowship pursuing the goal of CO2 reduction to valuable fuels and feedstocks. The incumbent will bring expertise in atomistic simulations for modeling heterogeneous catalysis, ultimately to eluciate and then predict and optimize electrocatalytic reactions such as CO2RR with the aid of *ab initio* simulations. *Requirements*: - familiarity with Linux operating system and high-performance cluster environments - ab-initio modeling - DFT software packages such as VASP, Quantum Espresso, CP2K - ability to work in collaboration with experimentalists to advance combined computational/ experimental efforts on new catalyst design. *- proven experience and sucess in computational studies of heterogeneous catalystis.* How to apply: - please send your detailed CV listing your past publications, and names of three referees, to [email protected] by Jan 15, 2017 *For more information on the research group:* Please see http://light.utoronto.ca Sample publications: [1] A.
