We are seeking outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral position at Central Michigan University (CMU) in the area of electronic structure theory development. The post-doc will be engaged in an exciting, large-scale effort to remove self-interaction errors from density functional theory using the Fermi-Löwdin orbital self-interaction correction (FLO-SIC) approach. The project involves a highly collaborative team of researchers at multiple universities (see http://www.flosic.org for details). The work at CMU will involve both coding and method development and testing under the supervision of Professors Koblar Jackson and Juan Peralta. The initial appointment will begin as early as February 1, 2020 and will be for one year. An extension is possible, based on satisfactory performance and the continued availability of funding. A competitive salary and benefits package will be offered.

Required qualifications include a Ph.D. within the last six years in computational chemistry or theoretical condensed matter physics, or a closely related discipline, significant programming experience, and a solid background in electronic structure theory. Ability to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations.

Preferred qualifications include FORTRAN programming experience, use of high performance computing centers, and experience with electronic structure codes.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

Please provide a cover letter addressed to Professors Jackson ([email protected]) and Peralta ([email protected]), a CV (including a list of publications), and a list of three reference contacts.

The position is grant funded. The initial appointment will begin as early as February 1, 2020 and will be for one year. Extension after one year is contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued availability of funding.
