Applications are invited for one postdoctoral fellowship in the Giustino research group at the Oden Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences and the Department of Physics, University of Texas at Austin.
This position is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy within the context of a broader project aimed at enabling exascale calculations of electron-phonon couplings and materials properties at finite temperature: https://www.oden.utexas.edu/about/news/574
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: ab initio calculations of carrier transport, electron-phonon physics in quantum materials, phonon-assisted optical processes, first-principles calculations of polarons, and many-body approaches to the electron-phonon problem.
Our recent work in these areas can be consulted at http://giustino.materials.ox.ac.uk/index.php/Site/Publications
The candidate will be involved in the development and the application of new theoretical and computational methods for investigating electron-phonon physics from first principles. New methods will be implemented and released into the EPW code of the Quantum Espresso distribution.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science, a solid knowledge of electronic structure methods and condensed matter theory, and will be familiar with density-functional theory codes. Previous experience with electron-phonon physics and with Fortran/MPI programming are desirable.
The group has access to cutting-edge high performance computing resources provided by TACC, the Texas Advanced Computing Center. TACC is located minutes from the UT campus and hosts Frontera, the 5th most powerful supercomputer in the world.
This position is for up to three years, starting as soon as possible.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter and a curriculum vitae to Kay Brown, [email protected]. Applicants should also arrange for two confidential reference letters to be sent to the same address.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the positions are filled.
