A postdoctoral position is available from 1^st October 2019 in the Device Modelling group (http://www.nanolab.uk) at the University of Warwick as part of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship project “MoQPI: Exploiting quantum and phonon interference for molecular thermoelectricity and Seebeck sensing”. The position is funded by the UK research and Innovation and is available for one year in the first instance extendable for 2 years depending upon significant achievement and mutual interest.

Project Description:

This projects aims to exploit room temperature quantum and phonon interference in radically new cross plane nanodevice architectures to design new high efficiency thermoelectric materials and devices for converting waste heat in consumer electronics and server farms into electricity and cooling of CMOS-based devices.

Qualifications:

The applicant must have a PhD in nanoelectronics, 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 and international 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 collaborators.

Application:

To apply, please provide a single pdf document including a cover letter, full curriculum vitae, a list of all publications and contact information for two references by email to [email protected]
