Postdoctoral research position is available in the computational materials physics group at Kunsan National University, South Korea, working with Prof. Bongjae Kim (Kunsan Nat’l Univ.) and Dr. Kyoo Kim (KAERI).

Project: The research field is the application of the electronic structure methods for the understanding and predicting the materials properties. Currently, the systems we are interested are complex oxides, magnetic materials, and 2D systems, where the multiple physics such as spin/charge/orbital order, superconductivity, etc. are competing or cooperating.

The position is for one year, and can be extended up to three years. The position is available immediately and applications will be taken into consideration until the position is filled. The salary, funded by the national research foundation of Korea, will be commensurate with experience within the salary scale of National Universities in Korea.

Requirements:

- Candidates for the position should have PhD in computational and/or theoretical materials physics or related disciplines.

- Experience with DFT codes such as VASP, WIEN2k, QE, etc.

- Solid background in condensed matter physics.

- Good communication skills in English (both written and verbal)

- Ability to work independently and in a team.

How: To apply please submit one page statement of your research interests stating your motivation for the project, your CV, and the names and contact information of at least two references. Please use the subject line “Postdoc application” when sending the applications.
