Post-doctoral position available immediately at Central Michigan University. The aim of the research project is to develop a state-of-the-art first-principles simulation methodology for electron dynamics in open-quantum systems and to apply it to realistic molecular based electronics, spintronics, and quantum computation architectures. The research involves the implementation of the driven Liouville von Neumann approach within the realm to time-dependent density functional theory. This position involves a close collaboration with Prof. Oded Hod (Tel-Aviv University). The Post-doctoral fellow will gain knowledge of the physics of open quantum systems, experience in electronic structure coding, and hands-on practice in high-performance computing, analyzing data, and publishing research. The position is for one year with a possible extension upon performance and mutual agreement.
