Applicants must have a PhD degree in materials science, physics or chemistry (or equivalent). Previous experience in ab initio computing and density functional theory (DFT) is required. An experience in defect computations using ab initio techniques is a strong advantage. The postdoctoral researcher will be part of a team from Dartmouth, UCBerkeley (Alp Sipahigil) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Sinéad Griffin, Archana Raja, Alexander Weber-Bargioni) using theoretical screening and experiments to identify promising defects for quantum information science. The project is funded for 3 years by the Department of Energy (https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-73-million-materials-and-chemical-sciences-research-advance-quantum-science).

The postdoctoral position should start between September and December 2021.

Dartmouth College is an Ivy League University situated in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. The Hautier research group offers an outstanding scientific environment with worldwide collaborations (http://engineering.dartmouth.edu/people/faculty/geoffroy-hautier). We are co-PI to the Materials Project.

Applicants should send their application (CV, contact info for 3 references) by e-mail to Geoffroy Hautier ([email protected]). Please use as e-mail subject: “Postdoctoral Application Defect 2021”.
