Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University | 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu | http://about.me/aspuru ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Maria K Chan <mchan(a)anl.gov> Date: Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 7:45 AM Subject: Postdoctoral positions at Argonne To: Dear colleagues, Happy New Year! Hope this email finds you well. I would greatly appreciate if you could forward the following postdoc position announcement to those who may be interested. best, Maria Chan ---------------------------------------- The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory (near Chicago, USA) has immediate postdoctoral openings in the Theory and Modeling group. The postdoctoral researchers will work on first principles modeling of renewable energy materials including hybrid perovskite photovoltaics, energy storage, and thermal management materials. Emphases include interfacing first principles modeling with experimental measurements, and developing algorithms and software to improve materials property prediction. Applicants should have expertise in some of the following: • Density functional theory modeling of materials, especially in the areas of energy storage, photovoltaics, and thermal transport • Development and implementation of algorithms and software for data analysis and materials modeling • Computational modeling and analysis of x-ray, electron microscopy, or other characterization data • High-performance computing The CNM Theory and Modeling group consists of several staff scientists and a dozen postdoctoral researchers and graduate students working closely together. Please see http://www.anl.gov/cnm/group/theory-modeling and http://www.anl.gov/cnm/person/maria-k-y-chan for more information. There will also be ample opportunities for collaborations with various experimental and computational groups at Argonne, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Postdoctoral appointments are on a one-year basis, with a maximum term of three years, subject to available funding and satisfactory performance evaluation. Excellent communication and analytical skills are required. Ability to work independently and in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment, especially involving experimental colleagues, is expected. Software programming experience is a plus. A PhD in computational physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related field is required. Interested candidates should direct questions or apply by emailing the following to Dr. Maria Chan (mchan(a)anl.gov): 1. A detailed curriculum vitae including a list of publications and the names and email addresses of three professional references. 2. In your cover letter, please kindly a. describe your previous materials modeling experience (techniques, materials, key contributions); b. describe your software development experience; and c. indicate your expected start date, citizenship, and US work eligibility status (if known). 3. Optional: If desired, please include one representative publication that best showcases your work. *The Center for Nanoscale Materials (nano.anl.gov <http://nano.anl.gov>) is a part of U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Nanoscale Science Research Centers program dedicated to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Argonne is also home to the Advanced Photon Source, a leading synchrotron light source in the world. Argonne National Laboratory offers excellent compensation and benefit packages.

The event will showcase research career and funding opportunities in Europe for researchers of any nationality, at all stages of their research careers. It will include information and discussion opportunities on European Union programmes as well as national programmes and initiatives in many European countries. Since Destination Europe was launched in 2012, some 2000 people have attended Destination Europe conferences and have been very enthusiastic in their feedback on the events, which are focused on the interests of the audience. We would appreciate if you would *forward this invitation *to your post-doc colleagues and doctoral students who might be interested to learn about research opportunities in Europe. We want to be sure that any potentially interested person is aware of the event and can register. Participation is free but prior registration is essential.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Fwd: HUCE Summer RA Program / Environmental Fellows Deadline January 13th

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

If anybody wants to host undergraduates next summer on environmentally-related topics, send a paragraph about the project you would like to do to Steven. He will collect them and then send to me by the 10th so I can send by the 13th. Alan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Clem, James* <james_clem(a)harvard.edu> Date: Wednesday, January 6, 2016 Subject: HUCE Summer RA Program / Environmental Fellows Deadline January 13th To: Cc: "Simms, Eric" <esimms(a)fas.harvard.edu> Dear HUCE Faculty Associates: Happy New Year! First, a quick reminder that this year’s Environmental Fellows Program *deadline is next Wednesday, January 13th*. We would appreciate any letters of recommendation and/or host letters by that date. You can send them either directly to me or to <environ(a)fas.harvard.edu <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','environ(a)fas.harvard.edu');>>. Second, this is the time of year when we begin planning for our summer research grant program for undergraduates. The Center’s Undergraduate Summer Research Fund <http://environment.harvard.edu/student-resources/undergraduate-summer-resea…> offers undergraduates funding to work individually, under faculty supervision, on research projects (often in preparation for a thesis) *or* as research assistants on projects with Harvard faculty. *For the RA positions, we need to compile a list of RA opportunities for the students to apply to*. We are thus asking you to consider providing a short paragraph describing a potential summer research project – *relating to an important environmental challenge* – that would benefit from student research support while providing an interesting research experience. These positions are generally in the range of six to ten weeks in duration. Students will find these opportunities on our website and the website of the Office of Career Services. They will apply with a brief essay, a transcript, information on their summer expenses and financial aid needs, and a brief letter of support from the sponsoring faculty member. We aim to have decisions on the summer grants by mid-April. We will start advertising our summer grant programs in early February, after students have returned to campus, *so please send in your RA position ideas as soon as possible – by the start of classes would be ideal*. Eric Simms will be on a paternity leave later this month, so I will collect the job descriptions this year. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
