RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science (CEMS) is looking for a Research Scientist to join their First-principles Materials Science Research Team.

Research Field and Overview

Based on first-principles methods, the team studies non-trivial electronic properties of materials. Especially, they aim at predicting unexpected phenomena in strongly correlated and/or topological materials and establishing new guiding principles for materials design. They are also interested in the development of new methods for ab initio electronic structure calculation.
