Disorder in Functional Materials

Posted by Denise on 05/27 at 02:51 PM

As part of the Department of Energy’s Computational Materials and Chemistry
Science Network (CMCSN) on “Disorder-Mediated Properties of Functional
Materials,” we invite applications for computational post-doctoral
researcher positions, with up to six positions available.

Successful candidates will be working with Ames National Laboratory (D.D.
Johnson), Brookhaven National Laboratory (W. Ku), Louisiana State University
(M. Jarrell), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (W.A. Shelton), and
University of Florida (H-P. Cheng and P. Hirschfeld). Exchanges between
groups are possible to promote our collaborative goals.

The primary responsibility is to conduct theoretical and computational
research involving new techniques and develop related software to address
functional materials in which their key properties are related to the
disorder present in the real systems. The foci will be on materials
exhibiting highly-correlated electronic and atomic features, and novel
computational methods development to address such.

Required qualifications include: an earned Ph.D. in related fields such as
physics, materials science or chemistry.

Preferred skills include: experience in many-body theory and its
computational implementation, density-functional theory application and
algorithm development.

The positions are temporary appointments, initially set for one year and
renewable, contingent upon performance and funding availability.

To apply, please send a complete CV, a list of at least 3 references and
sample publications to Dr. Wei Ku, .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

EEO/AA Policy: All organizations are affirmative action, equal opportunity
employers.

BNL Policy states that research associate appointments may be made to those
who have received their Ph.D.s within the last five years.
