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.
SIMES-NPNEQ POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP POSITION (TD ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in the area of computational materials science. This position is associated with the newly established multi-institutional center for Non-Perturbative Studies of Functional Materials under Non- Equilibrium Conditions (NPNEQ) which aims to enable predictive simulations of materials far from equilibrium to inform research in quantum materials and attosecond strong-field physics. The successful candidate will work as a member of the NPNEQ team on the theory, numerical implementation and validation of the next generation of real-time time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) methods for scalable nonequilibrium dynamics simulations on emerging exascale supercomputers.
The postdoc will be based at SIMES which is a joint institute between the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and home to a number of cutting-edge experimental and theory programs in ultrafast materials science (http://simes.stanford.edu/). Within SIMES, the postdoc will work under the supervision of Dr. Das Pemmaraju and Prof. Aaron Lindenberg. Furthermore, as a member of the NPNEQ center the postdoc will work in close collaboration with theory and experimental teams at Stanford/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent qualification in physics, mathematics, chemistry, materials science or a related discipline. Experience in quantum simulation methods such as density functional theory, time-dependent density functional theory, many-body perturbation theory, Quantum Monte Carlo or related approaches is highly desirable. This position involves a significant amount of numerical code development aimed at the next generation of exascale supercomputers. Therefore, the ideal candidate will have prior scientific programming experience combined with an enthusiasm for scalable computing on highly parallel architectures. Additionally, the candidate would have demonstrated written and verbal communication skills in an academic setting along with an ability to work both individually and in a collaborative team environment.
This is a one-year appointment starting immediately with the possibility of a further 1-2 year extension based on performance and the needs of the NPNEQ center. Interested candidates should submit an up-to- date CV and a statement of research interest to Das Pemmaraju ([email protected]) with the title “SIMES-NPNEQ Postdoctoral Fellowship”.
Stanford is an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
