A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Prof. Diana Qiu (https://qiugroup.yale.edu/) at Yale University.

The position focuses on developing and applying first principles techniques to study materials’ excited-state properties, with a special focus on exciton dynamics, transport and relaxation processes in large-scale and nanostructured condensed matter systems. The initial appointment is one year with possible extension to up to three years based on availability of funding and mutual agreement. Consideration of candidates will begin on July 1 and will continue until the position is filled.

Preferred qualifications:

(1) Ph.D. in theoretical physics, chemistry, materials science or a closely related discipline

(2) Expert knowledge of density functional theory and/or many-body perturbation theory (such as GW-BSE)

(3) Familiarity with programming and development of ab initio excited-state methods is an advantage

To apply, please send a CV and a brief cover letter (including a list of three references) to Diana Qiu ([email protected]).
