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.
Research Associate for PARADIM Theory User Facil ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are hiring a Research Associate for our newly NSF funded PARADIM Theory User Facility. This person will be located in and active within my group in the School of Applied & Eng. Physics at Cornell.
The funding for the position is secured for 5 years, while it is our expectation that this will be a 10 year facility. Please see the add below and note that the responsibilities have changed to give the Research Associate more time for independent research, which i can explain more if you are interested.
If interested please send me your CV and statement of interest AND apply as the advert states. If you applied previously, you will need to apply again since this is technically a different position, thanks.

Research Associate for PARADIM Theory User Facility
PARADIM (Platform for the Accelerated Realization, Analysis, and Discovery of Interface Materials, http://paradim.cornell.edu) is a newly-created world-class NSF facility devoted to advancing the fundamental understanding of oxide-based hetero-interfaces on a variety of two-dimensional (2D) material systems including oxides, chalcogenides, and graphene. PARADIM is seeking a research associate to work with an internationally recognized team of experts working together as a team to discover new interface materials relevant to the next generation of electronics. This team includes theorists N.W. Ashcroft, C.J. Fennie, and E.A. Kim; Profs. R.J. Cava, J. Park, and D.G Schlom in materials synthesis; and L.F. Kourkoutis, D.A. Muller and K.M. Shen in materials characterization. Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, Solid-State Chemistry or related fields with 4 or more years of relevant experience and will be responsible for developing new relevant computational or theoretical tools, particularly those related to interface structure prediction or the application of DFT methods to characterization data (STEM-EELS or ARPES measurements). Expertise in relevant first principles codes, e.g., ABINIT, Quantum Espresso, is desirable. A key long-term responsibility of this position will be to mentor users in the use of theory to discover radically new materials with unprecedented properties. Additional responsibilities will include helping to build and continually enhance PARADIM’s “Materials-by-Design Toolbox” by creating on-line tutorials that help users utilize relevant codes and software from the public domain, storing and curating results of user calculations performed within PARADIM, monitoring a user’s forum, teaching at PARADIM’s summer school on theory, and interacting with users to help them refine their concepts prior to PARADIM proposal submission. PARADIM research associates are expected to be research active, i.e., the research associate should publish research papers related to the in-house research theme of PARADIM (valleytronics). To facilitate this, in addition to the possibility of collaborating with interested PARADIM users on their research, research associates may write proposals to use PARADIM facilities and spend up to 20% of their time doing research in PARADIM facilities related to valleytronics on which the research associate is the Principal Investigator.
Research Associate is a non-tenure track academic research appointment. This is a three-year term position that may be extended. Continued employment will be contingent on performance, program needs, and the availability of funding.
Applications including a resume and the names of several references should be submitted online at: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/7399
Applications will be reviewed starting June 15, 2016 and will be accepted until this position is filled.
