A one-year postdoctoral position with possible extension up to two years is open in the Materials Modeling & Microscopy group of Rohan Mishra at Washington University in St. Louis beginning as early as September 1, 2015. The successful candidate will perform computational research to develop a fundamental understanding of surfaces of strongly correlated complex oxides and relate it to their catalytic activity. The project involves strong integration with aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy experiments that will be performed both within the group and elsewhere.

To be considered for the position, a recent Ph.D. (within past 2-3 years) in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry or a related field with expertise in applying electronic structure methods (such as Density Functional Theory or Beyond DFT) to materials is required. Prior research experience in strongly correlated oxides, surfaces-interfaces, defects, catalysis, or electron microscopy would be appropriate. Candidates with experience in coding (either Python, FORTRAN, or C/C++) and using statistical and machine-learning tools will be preferred.

To apply, visit jobs.wustl.edu. The job id. is 31367.
