Dear colleagues:

I am looking to hire a postdoc in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The position will be available starting as early as this fall.

The project for which we are hiring is focusing on first-principles simulations of defects in oxides and near surfaces. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with first-principles density functional theory (local and non-local approximations to exchange and correlation), ideally applied to surface calculations, and using high-performance computing. Experience with quantum embedding techniques and quantum computing frameworks will be beneficial. The work will require effective communication in a larger team including more senior collaborators, the capability to independently pursue research ideas and learn new simulation techniques, a strong drive for and prior experience with publishing in peer-reviewed journals, making conference presentations, and working with graduate and undergraduate students.

Please pass on this information to any outstanding candidates that might be interested in this position. I am looking to fill this position as soon as possible, preferably by the end of fall of this year. Applications should be sent directly to me ([email protected]) and include a current CV.

All the best,

Andre
