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 Scientist at Brown Theoretical Physics Center for Completing PhD Students and Postdocs at Minority Serving Institutions in the United States

The Brown University NSF EPSCOR Center focused on Harnessing the Data Revolution for the Quantum Leap: From Quantum Control to Quantum Materials seeks a highly talented and motivated postdoctoral scientist interested in working at the interface of quantum matter theory, quantum information, and machine learning. The postdoc will help lead Center efforts and define the Center’s vision to develop new theories that leverage machine learning and quantum control to accelerate materials discovery. The postdoc will therefore be engaged in multi-group collaborative research with other theorists and experimentalists at Brown, Dartmouth, and the University of New Hampshire, and will be expected to help train graduate and undergraduate students. The position represents an excellent opportunity to develop professional networks and enhance communications skills.

The postdoc will become a member of the Brown Center for Theoretical Physics, which is comprised of a number of highly-regarded theorists from Brown’s physics, chemistry, environmental science, and applied mathematics communities. Brown University is a private, Ivy League University located in Providence, RI, less than an hour away from Boston and less than four hours away from New York City. The University is home to a lively campus, where students are intellectually engaged both inside and outside the classroom. Brown boasts a number of top-ranked Departments and is an institution at which interdisciplinary research is strongly embraced.

 Qualifications

Candidates must have done PhD or postdoctoral work at one of the minority-serving institutions listed by the US Department of Education at URL https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html.  Candidates should have a background in quantum condensed matter physics, familiarity with machine learning, and, at a minimum, an appreciation of quantum information science. An ability to work well with others is a must. Candidates with a demonstrated record of creativity and independent thought are preferred.  All hires will also be given time to explore research topics, continue past research, and develop collaborations of their own.  

The position is for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year.  Applicants from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.  Brown University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic global community.  The Department of Physics is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute, through their research, teaching, and/or service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. 

Application Instructions

Those interested in applying should submit their cover letter, CV, and three recommendation letters through https://apply.interfolio.com/99831 as soon as possible.  The position is expected to begin by February 1, 2022 but there is some flexibility regarding the start date. 

Brown University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic global community; as an EEO/AA employer, Brown considers applicants for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of, gender, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, race, protected veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status.

Cover Letter
With due respect, I am writing this application to express my interest to associate with you as
a researcher. I am Mitesh B. Solanki currently working as a Research Scholar at the School of
Technology, Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. My topic
of research is “Nonlinear Optical Crystal based on Experiments and Theoretical Study of
Nonlinear Optical Crystals Material”. and recently submitted my doctoral thesis. Apart from
this, I have gained impressive experience in computational DFT studies such as Gaussian,
Quantum expresso Presently, I am looking for a good post-doctoral opportunity. I am following
your research group for a long time and my work is closely aligning with your research interest.
In this regard, I would like to put my candidature for a possible Post Ph.D. research opportunity
at your lab.
Ph.D. work was focused on Nonlinear Optical Crystal based on Experiments and Theoretical
Study of Nonlinear Optical Crystals Material. I had researched specifically on growth and
characterization of modified KDP single crystals and extensively explored their theoretical
aspects using Density functional theory
by Quantum Espresso, VASP, Gaussian, Material
Studio, and Wien2K DFT packages.
Further, I have worked as JRF at Dairy Science College
where I have been involved in the development of Nano-Tag and Thread-based Micro-Fluidic
Biosensor for Detection Aflatoxin M1 in Milk.
I am currently working on the first-principle calculation of novel YRuB
2 family rare-earth
ternary boride topological Superconductor for quantum computing and thermoelectric
application and got impressive results. To validate obtained results and further study the
findings, I am searching for a mentor working on theoretical aspects in this area. Since my
research work and expertise fully align with your group's research interest, I am keenly
interested to work under your guidance.
furthermore; I have already Theoretically (DFT) calculate more than 80 up 2D material
calculation like Nitrogenbase stable Perovskite, some MnBi2Te4 family topological
superconductor, iodine base stable semiconductor, and quasicrystals materials
I have enclosed my resume with this application for your perusal to know more about my
education and experience. I request you to kindly consider my candidature for post-doctoral
research work and I will be grateful for the opportunity. Thanking you,
