A Ph.D. student position (starting in August 2022) is available in Prof. Chen Huang's group at the Department of Scientific Computing, Florida State University. We work in the field of density functional theory (DFT). The student may choose to work on one of the following projects: (a) developing a local-correlation method for large-scale DFT simulations with advanced exchange-correlation functionals, (b) developing a new orbital-free DFT method for efficient simulations of high-entropy alloys, and (c) developing a new local hybrid DFT for polaron simulations. 

Candidates with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Since the projects require programming, prior programming experience is a plus, but not necessary.

Please contact Dr. Huang at [email protected], if you are interested in this position. More details about our research can be found on the group's website: https://sites.google.com/site/huangfsu/home
