As part of a new Korean consortium for the study of future energy materials, a research position is available on computational materials discovery in the group of Professor Aron Walsh (http://wmd-group.github.io). The position will be based in Yonsei University (Seoul, Korea), but feature close interaction with Imperial College London (UK).

The individual will play a leading role in computational support for a consortium of experimental partners. Areas of interest include, but are not restricted to, piezoelectricity, defect physics, and machine learning. The position is initially funded for 12 months, but is extendable to 48 months upon review.

Yonsei University is the leading private comprehensive university in Korea, and located in the lively district of Sinchon in Seoul. We wish to appoint an outstanding individual with a strong track record in first-principles electronic structure calculations and a PhD (or equivalent) in theoretical or computational physical science (chemistry, physics or materials) is essential. The ability to communicate in Korean is an advantage for this position.

Serious candidates should send their CV to Prof. Aron Walsh
