We are inviting applications for a post-doc position to work with Jorge Íñiguez at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).
The research will be on ferroelectric-based nano-structured materials displaying "negative capacitance" and "voltage amplification" effects that, beyond being exotic and surprising, are of great current interest for the development of low-power electronics. The work will involve the use of novel "second-principles" methods that allow large-scale simulations of complex dynamical phenomena with near-first-principles accuracy. You can learn more about our research and recent publications here (general), and particularly here (negative capacitance).
The project also involves the experimental team led by Pavlo Zubko at University College London and the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
The position is in principle for 3 years. Work should start in early 2019.
Eligible candidates must have a strong background in physics or materials science, and solid experience in atomistic simulations.
Interested candidates are welcome to contact Jorge Íñiguez ([email protected]). Please send a complete CV and as much information as you deem useful.
