Postdoctoral Research Associate – Computationa ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Purpose: Under the supervision of Dr. Jaron Krogel, the postdoctoral research associate will apply many-body quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods to explore the properties of functional materials as part of a recently established Center for Predictive Simulation of Functional Materials, a DOE-funded Computational Materials Sciences (CMS) Center. This position resides in the Materials Theory Group in the Materials Science and Technology Division (MSTD), Physical Sciences Directorate (PSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Overview: The goal of the Center is to develop and deploy advanced, systematically improvable quantum Monte techniques to problems in strongly correlated electronic structure. The center aims to demonstrate a new capacity of QMC techniques to conclusively predict, and hence ultimately design, the properties of functional materials. Recently emerging QMC methods for correlated electronic structure are expected to play and increasing role in this area as the exascale is approached in high performance computing. Computational research will be engaged closely with experimental studies of charge ordering, metal insulator transitions, and defect physics in correlated oxides. Successful applicants will have many opportunities for collaboration with computational theorists and experimentalists across multiple national laboratories, including Oak Ridge, Argonne, Sandia, and Lawrence Livermore national laboratories. The ideal candidate will have detailed knowledge of quantum mechanics and experience in the development and application of computational electronic structure methods on high performance computers.
