TOPIC: 1 postdoc position is available in the group of Prof. Prasanjit Samal in the School of Physical Sciences, National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), India.

About the project

Our group focuses on forefront development and computational methods at the interface of physics, chemistry, and materials science (http://www.niser.ac.in/~psamal/). The topic of our current research projects deals with the application of novel approaches in the field of ground and excited-state properties of materials. Also, we develop various density functional methods to understand material properties. To understand the properties of the material, we use various freely and commercially available code such as NWChem, Quantum Espresso, deMon2k, WIEN2k, VASP, FHI-AIMS, QChem, Molpro, and ADF. Our various developed methods are interfaced with the aforementioned codes. Application of our developed methods in material science will allow unprecedented new insight in the field of material research. The project may be carried out in collaboration with other groups.

Candidate Requirements

We are looking for motivated, creative, ambitious candidates who can work with other group members. Prior knowledge in those codes will be plus point but not desirable. Interested candidates should send a cover letter with their Curriculum Vitae directly to Prof. Prasanjit Samal (email:[email protected]).

For postdoc, we offer a 1-year contract (possibly with extension), a competitive salary as well as a vibrant, inspiring environment with cutting-edge resources. 

Applications

Interested applicants are encouraged to send their application documents (cover letter, CV, publication list, diplomas, description of research experience and motivation, names of at least two academic references) as one pdf document per e-mail to Prof. Prasanjit Samal (email:[email protected]). Start date: October 1st, 2019.
