Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoctoral Position in First-Principles Modeli ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available at Kettering University, in the research group led by Dr. Demet Usanmaz. This team focuses on first-principles modeling of materials for energy applications.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or a closely related field.
- Strong understanding of solid-state physics/chemistry, electronic and thermodynamic properties of materials, and dopants and defects.
- Experience with density functional theory (DFT) methods (e.g., VASP, Quantum Espresso).
- Proficiency with Unix systems and computer programming skills.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication skills in English.
The successful candidate will conduct first-principles simulations to investigate the properties of materials relevant to energy applications. Additionally, the candidate will gain experience mentoring undergraduates and graduate students and have the opportunity to co-teach a class. This is a one-year position but may be extended contingent upon funding.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should submit their application, including a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references, through our online portal at https://jobs.kettering.edu/postings/9174. Applications will be reviewed promptly, and the position will remain open until filled. We encourage early submissions.
Diversity and Inclusion: We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive research environment. Individuals from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Start Date: As soon as possible.
Location: Flint, Michigan, USA
