Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoctoral Research Associate - Metastability ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Postdoctoral Research Associate position at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) available with Dr. P. Ganesh to work on (correlated and topological) quantum- and neuromorphic- (including ferroelectric/ferroionic) materials.

Overview:
The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to support research directed towards understanding and control of metastability in driven dynamical systems, bridging time-/length-scales from atomistic to continuum. The focus will be on quantum- and neuromorphic-materials where metastable states can be created, usually at high-fields, giving rise to memory-effects when the system is driven out of equilibrium. The goals are to reveal the nature of these metastable-states, their creation and evolution under high-fields, and the governing dynamics of systems with such naturally existing OR engineered metastability.
As a Postdoctoral Research Associate, you will contribute to research in these areas bridging state-of-the-art large-scale electronic-structure based approaches with reactive force-field as well as continuum phase-field modeling of driven dynamical systems. Efforts to learn and accelerate dynamical simulations using advanced machine-learning algorithms will also be of interest. In addition to fundamental science, the research will pursue development of codes tailored to bridge these approaches in an automated fashion. The research is designed to provide opportunities for development of your experience and scientific vision. The position resides in the Nano-Theory Institute within the Center for Nanophase Materials Science (CNMS) of the Physical Sciences Directorate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
