Back to Job listings...
There are several postdoc openings available immediately in the Institute of Condensed Matter Theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The successful applicant will work primarily with Profs David Ceperley and/or Lucas K. Wagner on continuum quantum Monte Carlo methods for condensed matter systems.
The ideal candidate will have:
-A PhD in physics or closely related field.
-Experience with computational physics, preferably with electronic structure methods such as DFT, GW, quantum chemistry methods, or quantum Monte Carlo.
-Programming skills, preferably C++, Python and MPI, but other modern languages are acceptable.
-Experience with stochastic and statistical methods such as structure searching and data analysis techniques
There are several projects that the successful applicant could work on.
- Elucidating the phase diagram of hydrogen at high pressure.
- Deriving effective interacting models from first principles data using machine learning techniques.
- Searching for new unconventional superconductors in close collaboration with synthetic experimental groups.
To receive full consideration, apply by October 30 at the following website: http://icmt.illinois.edu/Opps-postdocs.asp.
