PhD position in computational materials science (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A PhD position is available immediately in the group of theoretical condensed matter in the area of computational electrocatalysis at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (Lincoln, USA).
The research requires application of first-principles based atomistic simulations through high-performance computing to understand and design materials for sustainable energy and device applications. The key focus is placed on the development of fundamental understanding of molecular-scale mechanisms aiming to bridge scales and assist in interpreting and guiding experiments.
The position requires most of the following:
• Strong background in solid-state physics, quantum mechanics, molecular dynamics
• Demonstrated record of research productivity
• Familiarity with high-performance computing
• Experience in using major quantum-chemical/solid-state physics simulation
packages (VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, Abinit, CASTEP, etc.)
• Experience in programming/scripting in Linux/Unix environment is a plus
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
To apply, e-mail cover letter, current resume with a complete list of your publications and the names and contact information of two references to:
