The Pavanello Research Group at Rutgers University-Newark http://sites.rutgers.edu/prg is looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral associate to join as soon as December 2020 or early 2021. The successful candidate has a strong track record of chemistry, physics, or materials science software development. The project will involve designing and developing complex Density Functional Theory embedding software, thus, proficiency in Python as well as low-level languages like FORTRAN is required. The successful candidate will (1) develop computational protocols based on density embedding and orbital-free DFT for modeling materials interfaces, liquids and electrochemical setups in and out of equilibrium; (2) co-advise graduate students on computational projects; (3) co-advise undergraduate students on computational projects.

Applicants must submit a cover letter outlining how they meet all the required qualifications, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and the names and contact information of at least two referees who are very familiar with the candidate’s scientific work.
