A postdoctoral position is available in Professor Beth Nowadnick’s research group in the Department of Physics at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. This position is in the area of computational and theoretical materials physics.

The research group utilizes theory and simulation to elucidate and engineer the properties of structurally and electronically complex oxides, such as ferroelectrics, charge/orbital ordered systems, and quantum magnets. We are particularly interested in systems where multiple structural and/or electronic order parameters are active, giving rise to novel properties or functionality. The group uses a combination of density functional theory, group theoretic methods, and model Hamiltonian-based approaches. For more information please see: https://web.njit.edu/~bethn/

Highly-motivated candidates with a PhD in physics, materials science, or a related discipline are invited to apply by sending a CV, a one page description of current and future research interests, estimated date of availability, and the names and contact information of three references to: [email protected]. Candidates must have experience with either density functional theory or computational many-body physics techniques.

Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

The New Jersey Institute of Technology is located in downtown Newark, NJ. Newark hosts several higher education institutions, leading companies, and cultural venues. It is also well connected by public transit to the surrounding area, and is a 20-minute train ride from New York City.
