Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Department of Physics at the University at Buffalo (UB), State University of New York in the area of materials discovery using modern theoretical and computational techniques.
Responsibilities include:
-
- Working with our experimentalists and computational scientists to build relevant database of materials of interest. Using modern computational and data science techniques to identify materials with promising properties.
- Carrying out first-principles electronic structure calculations and modeling.
- Preparing reports, presentations and manuscripts.
- Assisting the PIs with supervising junior graduate students.
The successful candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in condensed matter physics (or a related field) and has demonstrated original contributions to the field.
Priority will be given to candidates with experience in scientific computing and programming, first-principles electronic structure techniques (especially large-scale computation of complex materials and structures), and data-driven materials discovery. The candidate is also expected to collaborate closely with experimentalists and computational scientists. The appointment is initially for one year and can be extended for two more years.
