Postdoctoral Research Associate in Computational ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Applications are invited for a Research Associate to work in the group of Professor Furio Cora, Ben Slater and Dr Martijn Zwijnenburg in the Department of Chemistry at University College London. The post is funded through a prestigious EPSRC Programme Grant (led by Prof Matt Rosseinsky FRS and Prof Andy Cooper FRS at the University of Liverpool), to work in a multidisciplinary team and develop integrated computational/experimental approaches to materials discovery. The postholder will focus in particular on the application of quantum chemical methods to study new functional materials and their properties, develop descriptors for accelerated computational screening, and liaise with colleagues in Liverpool to integrate the computational work with synthesis and measurement studies. A specific area of current research concerns the thermoelectric figure of merit of complex solids, but the breadth and scope of the overall Programme Grant activity guarantees exposure to other topical application areas.
The post is available for a period of 24 months initially.
The successful candidate will have a PhD degree (or near to being awarded a PhD) in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science, in depth knowledge of electronic structure calculations, electronic localisation and/or electronic transport in complex solids, and working knowledge on the simulation of defects and doping in functional materials. The appointee will have a strong publication track record, a demonstrated commitment to excellence and exceptional skills in computational materials science. They will be expected to work in a highly multidisciplinary collaborative team, and have effective communication skills.
