The Theoretical Materials Physics Group led by Turan Birol at the University of Minnesota Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science invites applications for a postdoc position starting in Summer 2016. The work will focus on the computational design of new materials that host interesting phenomena such as topological insulators, multiferroics, strongly spin-orbit coupled Mott insulators, or high temperature superconductors. Prior experience with first principles calculations at the level of DFT is a must, and familiarity with DMFT or GW is preferable. The possible role of the postdoc is likely to include close collaborations with experimentalists. The applicants should provide a CV with a publication list, and a brief statement of research interests. The application materials, as well as three letters of recommendation, should be sent to [email protected]. Review of applications will begin on February 1, and will continue until the position is filled.

The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.
