A new postdoctoral/staff-scientist position is available immediately in the computational chemistry/physics group of Prof. Bryan M. Wong at the University of California-Riverside (to be jointly working with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories).

We are an extremely productive and highly-published multidisciplinary group located in sunny California (close to Los Angeles). We are focused in both method development and application in the chemistry/physics and material science of quantum-mechanical systems. A website of our interests and publications can be found at:

Job description: For this position, we are looking for a postdoctoral associate or staff scientist with experience in any of the following:

time-dependent density functional theory
electron dynamics
non-adiabatic dynamics
quantum computing

Specific expertise in these areas is *not* an explicit requirement (although it is helpful), and more importance will be placed on the applicant's expertise in understanding contemporary electronic structure methods and/or methodological development with first-principles quantum methods.

The candidate has the option of working with collaborators at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL) on our jointly-funded exascale/TD-DFT project: https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2021/07/20/using-light-control-materials. Depending on the candidate's interest, visits and working at LBNL are also possibilities.

The postdoc/staff-scientist will:

Develop and run calculations using standard and non-standard ab initio and quantum codes.

Write journal articles on developed methods, calculations, and results.

Assist in the mentoring of graduate students.

Attend conferences and present work.

Salary will be commensurate with experience level (and determine by the University of California pay scale)

To apply, please send a full CV and concise description of your expertise to Prof. Bryan Wong at bryan.wong (at) ucr.edu
