Successful candidates will have a strong background in fundamental physics, electronic structure theory, and modern computational approaches to solids. The position will involve theoretical and computational identification of new solids and superstructures, with target physical properties (“Inverse Design”). Properties of interest include:

 Doping Quantum materials,

 Synthesis by design,

Oxide and halide perovskites,

Hidden Spin- Polarization, and

Topological functionalities.

To apply, please send a CV describing past/current research, publications, and NAMES of 2-3 references to [email protected]. After preliminary screening, you will be notified if letters of reference need to be sent to Prof. Zunger.
