Dear Colleagues, 
 
Im happy to announce that the application to the third round of the NSF-supported CyberTraining Summer School and Workshop on the Excited States and Nonadiabatic Dynamics in Materials is now open (https://compchem-cybertraining.github.io/Cyber_Training_Workshop_2023/ ). The event will be held in person at the University at Buffalo campus, June 11-23, 2023. Application deadline is May 5, 2023.

At this point, I would like to invite graduate students, postdocs, and researchers to apply to this event. Young faculty are also welcome to participate! If you are a faculty/supervisor, please pass this info to your students/postdocs/researchers and share it with colleagues at your or other departments/institutions who may be interested. 

Description: The summer school will focus on several computational tools for modeling excited states and quantum dynamics, in atomistic and abstract model systems. The primary topics of interest include but are not limited to:
	nonadiabatic and excited-state dynamics;
	trajectory surface hopping and exact dynamics methods for low and high-dimensional systems;
	electronic structure theory calculations, with a particular focus on excited states;

During nearly two weeks, the participants will be immersed in intensive program with lectures on conceptual topics followed by the hands on exercises with various software packages. This summer, the packages well focus on will include:
	Libra and CP2K (Instructors: Alexey Akimov & Mohammad Shakiba)
	Quantics and MCTDH (Instructors: Graham Worth)
	NWChem (Instructors: Niri Goving)
	GAMESS (Instructors: Michael Filatov and Konstantin Komarov)
	TT-SOFT and TT-Chebyshev packages (Instructors: Micheline Soley)

Important Logistics: The anticipated class size is about 20+ people. The applicants will be selected based on the strength of their statement of purpose as well as the adequate support of their supervisors and their level of fundamental preparation. Successful applicants will be provided with stipends toward covering their meal and travel expenses.  Lodging near the UB campus will be provided. 

How to apply: Interested? Follow these steps: 1) Please read the detailed instructions on the events website: https://compchem-cybertraining.github.io/Cyber_Training_Workshop_2023/  2) Please submit the required documents via the Google form: https://forms.gle/XLwU2DFGbBgBXeto6
