A postdoc position is available in the group of Prof. Yu Xie (http://iccms.jlu.edu.cn/info/1036/1331.htm) in the International Center for Computational Method and Software at Jilin University (Changchun, China). Our group is interested in developing and applying ab initio calculation methods based on real-space grid basis to study the properties of energy storage and conversion materials, carbon, and superconducting hydrides. This position focuses on developing real-space calculation methods and software for GPU. The successful candidate will also provide computational support and work closely with the experimentalists. The initial term is two years, and the position is renewable, subject to funding and mutual agreement availability. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Qualifications

1. A recent Ph.D. in Computational or Theoretical Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or related discipline
2. Experience in electronic structure calculations (density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory) for materials evidenced by peer-reviewed publications
3. Experience in programming for high-performance computing
4. Experience in collaboration with experimentalists

Experience in the following areas is a plus:

1. Familiarity with ab initio calculation methods
2. Familiarity with MPI and/or openmp
3. Familiarity with CUDA

Application instructions

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Prof. Yu Xie ([email protected] or [email protected]). Please provide the CV, a cover letter describing your interest and experience, and the contact information for at least two references familiar with your work.
