*****************************************************

The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) department of the Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) together with Physics Department of National University of Singapore, invite applications for a Research Fellow position. The successful applicant will conduct research on a five-year project titled “Hybrid Thermoelectric (TE) Materials for Ambient Applications”. In this project, polymer-based novel TE materials possessing excellent figure of merit, ZT and long-term thermal stability will be developed, and used in a wide range of low power consumption applications, such as electronic devices and microprocessor cooling.

Candidates should possess a PhD degree in either Chemistry or Materials Science. Applicants must be skilled or familiar with at least one of following techniques: first principle calculations, molecular dynamics, non-equilibrium Green’s function and Boltzmann transport equation methods. Preference will be given to applicants with the knowledges of organic or polymer materials. Initial appointments are for three-year terms, which can thereafter be extended to another two or three-year contract. The remuneration, relocation, and travel budgets are competitive. International candidates are encouraged to apply.

Evaluation of applications will commence immediately, and will continue until all positions are filled. The employment will start as soon as possible. Applicants should submit his/her curriculum vitae including education records, working experience, list of publications with three references to (with Job Reference: Pharos TE) Dr. YANG Shuo-Wang ([email protected]), or Prof. Wang Jian-Sheng ([email protected]). We expect applicants to provide a brief statement of research interests and electronic copies of up to five relevant publications.
