A Postdoctoral Researcher position is available in the computational quantum materials research group led by Prof. Zhenglu Li at the University of Southern California (Los Angeles, USA), starting in Summer/Fall 2023 (negotiable). Group website: https://sites.usc.edu/ligroup/

This role will focus on the application and development of advanced excited-state methods including GW perturbation theory for electron-phonon coupling and time-dependent GW for non-equilibrium dynamics. Research topics include superconductivity, excitons, and coherent dynamics in systems ranging from complex oxides to 2D materials.  Ideal candidates will have experiences in first-principles computation of quantum materials on their excited-state, excitonic, and electron-phonon coupling properties, in particular with the GW, GW-BSE, DFPT, and/or TDDFT approaches.  Code development experience (Python/Fortran) is preferred.

Applicants are encouraged to directly contact Zhenglu by email ([email protected]) along with CV and a brief statement of research interests.
