A postdoctoral research fellow position is open immediately in the National University of Singapore, to be jointly hosted in the Department of Physics and Department of Mechanical Engineering. Successful candidate is expected to work with a team of experimentalists and computational materials scientists, to adapt AI techniques such as deep learning in analysis of materials properties, and to accelerate design of new 2D functional materials, such as thermoelectric materials.

Candidates should have a Ph.D degree in physics, materials science or a closely related field (awarded or to be awarded soon). He/she must be well versed in the research areas such as high-throughput calculations, deep learning models, and thermoelectric materials. They should also have excellent communication skills, both oral and written, and able to guide undergraduate students. Successful candidate is expected to perform high-throughput calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), database development, and develop deep learning models.

Experience in DFT-based calculations and deep learning modelling is required. In additional, experiences in Matlab, Python, FORTRAN, and in study of thermoelectric materials are preferred.

NUS provides excellent opportunities for career development. The salary structure is internationally competitive. Other benefits include health insurance, vacation/medical leave, central provident fund for Singapore citizen and permanent residence, and access to all university facilities.
