The Division of Materials Science and Engineering at the Ames Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory affiliated with Iowa State University, is searching for a qualified candidate to fill the Postdoctoral Research Associate position.

This project will work with first-principles techniques based on density functional theory (DFT) and beyond. The DOE team (Dr. Lin-Lin Wang) focus on computational approaches to model, design and control quantum materials including topological, magnetic and superconducting properties. A key component of the research is to model electron-phonon coupling and apply modern machine-learning approaches for materials discovery. The research activity involves close collaboration with experimental groups (Prof. Paul Canfield) to verify predictions, validate results and explain observations.
