There are two  postdoc and one PhD positions are available in my group (department of physics at Central South Unversitiy, in China) for  first-principles study of functional materials (e.g. oxide supported metal, two dimentional materials supported single-atom catalysts....) for energy conversion and thermoelectric effect. We are currently mainly interesting in  CO2 reduction (both thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis) and electrochemical water splitting. One postdoc and PhD student will work on computational study on CO2 hydrogenation (thermal catalysis). The other  postdoc will focus on the investigate of the thermoelectric effect of materials.  The position is renewable subject to the availability of funding and mutual agreement. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Preferred qualifications:
(1) Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a closely related discipline;
(2) Sufficient working knowledge of DFT calculations  (Good coding skill is a plus); 
(3) The candidates should have a good command of  VASP or similar package;
(4) Good publications in the field of first-priniciples calculations.

To apply, please send a CV (including a list of two references) to Prof. Long Zhang via email: [email protected]
