The PhD positions will normally start in Fall 2021 but there is flexibility in the exact starting date.
Applicants must have at least an undergraduate degree in materials science and engineering, chemistry or physics (or equivalent). The PhD research will focus on using ab initio techniques, high-throughput computing and machine learning to discover new materials for various applications from photovoltaics to magnetic materials. Experience in density functional theory (DFT) computations and in coding (especially in python) is an advantage.
Dartmouth College is an Ivy League University situated in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. The PhD training will be within the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth. The Hautier research group offers an outstanding scientific environment with worldwide collaborations (http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/people/faculty/geoffroy-hautier). A close collaboration with the groups of Profs Gian-Marco Rignanese and Xavier Gonze at UCLouvain in Belgium will take place during the PhD. Collaborations with experimental groups both within Dartmouth and outside the institutions are present in every of our projects. We are also part of the Materials Project (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]). Please use as e-mail subject: “PhD application 2020”. The chosen candidates will have to apply and be admitted to Dartmouth's graduate program.
