Two postdoctoral positions are available at the computational materials group of Sergei Manzhos at the National University of Singapore ( https://sites.google.com/site/sergeimanzhos/ ) with expected starting date June 1, 2016 or soon thereafter.

Project 1: ab initio modelling of fullerene-based materials for solar cells.

Project 2: ab initio modeling of materials for organic batteries.

Both project involve close collaboration with experimental labs.

Job requirements:

Hard requirements: competence and proven track record in

- ab initio modeling at the DFT level of molecular and periodic systems.

- understanding of the physics of organic solar cells or electrochemical batteries.

- technical writing in English (read: proven record of ability to write a paper)

The following are desired but not indispensable qualifications:

- experience with molecular dynamics, either AIMD or with force fields.

- experience in calculating conductance in organic materials or charge transfer rates.

- experience with the density functional tight binding method.

The posts are available for initial 1 year + up to 1 year extension on mutual agreement.
