An opening for a Postdoctoral Research Follow is available in Prof. Feng Liu’s group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Utah (http://eng.utah.edu/~fliu).

The successful candidates will work in the general areas of first-principles computations and theoretical modeling of topological and low-dimensional quantum materials. The candidates will be able to work independently, including with the freedom to choose topics of his/her own interests. Ongoing projects in the group include topological flat-band materials, excited-state quantum phases, topology in disordered systems, graphene-based and organic quantum materials, etc.

Postdoctoral candidates should have earned a Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or a related field. The ideal candidates should have strong expertise in some of the following approaches: electronic structure methods, tight-bind models, transport calculations, and knowledge of high performance computing.

Interested candidates please contact Feng Liu ([email protected]) or email your questions or inquiries about the position.
