A postdoctoral position in modeling of materials for solar energy applications (metal oxides for water-splitting and halide perovskites for solar cells) is available at the Department of Physics of Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.

The proposed project aims to complement material searches with comprehensive modelling based on state-of-the-art high-level of theory electronic structure methods. The main tasks of the successful applicant will be to work on including various relevant physical phenomena into models and develop modified descriptors for material searches. Focus will be put especially on the nature of the charge carriers and their interaction with defects close to the surface, and in ambient conditions. Depending on the interest of the candidate, the project might involve high-throughput and machine learning approaches.

You should hold a doctoral degree in physics, chemistry or materials science and have a documented experience in computational modeling and electronic structure calculations; the degree should generally not be older than three years.
