The HackingMaterials (https://hackingmaterials.lbl.gov) research group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is currently hiring a postdoc on the topics of DFT-based thermoelectrics design and data mining for inverse band structure design.

The position will involve working with a joint computational-experiment team to discover, develop, and characterize new thermoelectric materials compositions for use in waste heat recovery and refrigeration. The techniques used will include high-throughput density functional theory, standard ("low-throughput") DFT approaches, and data mining. Apart from materials discovery, the position will involve understanding broad trends between different thermoelectric materials classes as well as tackling the problem of "inverse band structure design" - i.e., how to design materials with desired electronic band structure features.
