Applications are invited for postdoctoral research positions in the computational theory group led by Dr. Duck Young Kim, center for high pressure science and technology advanced research (HPSTAR), Shanghai, China. The positions will be supported by “top 1000 talent program of China” awarded to the HPSTAR center director and/or 1000 talent foreign expert of China awarded to Dr. Duck Young Kim. 
 
Currently, we are seeking multiple positions in the field of 1) novel functional materials prediction under pressure and 2) correlated materials’ prediction under pressure. The main research approach can be based on density functional theory and for the correlated materials research it is highly desirable for candidates to be familiar/interested with many body calculations. To successful candidates, we will provide ample research opportunity to work closely with International collaboration teams as well as sufficient computational resources. 
 
To apply for the position, please provide a CV including contact details of two references, a full publication list, and a cover lettering describing a motivation statement and your previous research projects to Dr. Duck Young Kim ([email protected]) specifying “postdoctor application” in the subject line.
