Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoc Position on Quantum Materials at the Uni ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Hennig group on Magnetic Quantum Materials (https://hennig.mse.ufl.edu) at the University of Florida as part of the Quantum Theory Project (https://qtp.ufl.edu) and the Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM, https://efrc.ufl.edu). The position is funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), and the M2QM is a new DOE Energy Frontier Research Center. The position is for up to three years depending upon significant achievement and mutual interest.
Project Description:
The research projects focus on the development of first-principles based computational methods for magnetic molecules adsorbed on surfaces and their application to quantum materials. The M2QM focuses on the science of molecule-based magnetic systems as the basis for the next generations of quantum technologies, ranging from the synthesis and characterization of these emergent new materials to the systematic computational understanding of their many-body quantum behavior. The M2QM concentrates on fundamental scientific problems related to two technological challenges: (i) How to create qubits for intrinsically quantum computing, and (ii) how to replace elements of traditional computers and sensors with inherently quantum, molecule-based, devices that are energy efficient as well as fast and adaptive. In this setting, reliable, swift, all-electron calculations of magnetically complex materials are crucial.
Qualifications:
The applicant must have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, chemistry, materials science, or a closely related field. This position requires a strong computational scientist with demonstrated experience in first principles methods and calculations and expertise in software development. The applicant should be able to work independently and to participate creatively in refining research directions. The scientific results are expected to be presented at national meetings and published in peer-reviewed journals. The applicant must have excellent oral and written communication skills in English, and be able to interact effectively with experimental and computational members of the M2QM center.
Application:
To apply, please provide a full curriculum vitae (including a list of all publications) and contact information for three (3) references by email to [email protected].
