Description: Postdoc positions are available in the Dr. Yongqing Cai group at the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering (IAPME) at the University of Macau (UM) in the area of computational materials and physics. The goals are to develop fundamental understanding of phenomena at atomic scale, including electronic structure, optical properties, and phononic and thermal conductions by using quantum simulations. The candidate should have good publication record and obtain appropriate experience in materials simulation. Any programming experience (e.g. Python, Matlab, and FORTRAN) will be an advantage.

The applicants with experience in the following topics are encouraged to apply:  1) Excited states simulation; 2) Materials for energy storage;  3) Phonons and phase transitions; 4) High-throughput simulation.

  Two types of Postdoctoral will be centrally funded by one of the following schemes under the UM Macao Talent Program:

a). UM Macao Postdoctoral Fellowship (Class A): Monthly remuneration of MOP40,000 (taxable). Annual conference and research related trips allowance of MOP20,000; Maximum contract period of 2 years.
