Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
PhD Positions @ University of Maine in Computati ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Several Ph.D. positions in Computational Materials Physics & Design are available in the Department of Physics and Astronomy (https://physics.umaine.edu/) at the University of Maine (UMaine). These positions will be supervised by Prof. Liping Yu.
Successful applicants for this studentship will have opportunities to work in the cutting-edge research areas of computational materials physics and design. The long-term goals are to use first-principles methods to design advanced multifunctional materials for energy and electronic applications, and to address key scientific challenges related to materials design. Examples of research topics include, but are not limited to, photovoltaics, heterogeneous catalysts, interface and surface physics, defects in solids, oxide interface materials for next-generation electronics, 2D materials for flexible electronics, and machine learning. A close collaboration with experimental partners in the Frontier Institute for Research in Sensor Technologies (FIRST) (https://umaine.edu/first/) and other related departments at UMaine is expected.
Students with a BS or MS degree in physics, applied physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field are welcome to apply. Knowledge of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics, and experiences of DFT calculations and scientific programming in Python (or other languages) are highly desired, but not mandatory. For applicants from non-English speaking countries, TOEFL is required. GRE can be waived for exceptional applicants.
For questions, please contact Prof. Liping Yu ( [email protected] ). Applications should be made before January 15, 2020 through the following link:
