One postdoctoral position in computational high-throughput discovery and design of new materials for energy applications is open in the Professor Geoffroy Hautier's group at Université Catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Belgium.

The position will be focusing at new compound and crystal structure prediction. The main field of application will be energy storage. The position involves a good amount of coding and algorithm development mainly in python. The candidate is expected to start right away (April 1^st) but starting date is negotiable.

Applicants must have a degree in materials science, chemistry or physics (or equivalent). Experience in density functional theory (DFT) computations and in coding is required. Our group (http://perso.uclouvain.be/geoffroy.hautier/) offers an outstanding scientific environment with worldwide collaborations in the heart of Europe. We are part of the Materials Project team (http://www.materialsproject.org).

Applicants should send their application (motivation letter, CV, contact info for 3 references) by e-mail to Geoffroy Hautier ([email protected]).
