Two more 2-year postdoctoral positions focusing on the computational/theoretical design of materials for metal-ion batteries at Qingyuan Innovation Laboratory, China, are available under Dr. Oleksandr Malyi's supervision.

Key Responsibilities & Qualifications:
Develop and advance the understanding of electronic structure theory.
Code and modify computational tools using Python.
Work closely on first-principles theory-related projects and collaborate with leading experimental/theoretical groups.
Contribute to research in solid-state physics.
Note: This role is best suited for those with hands-on experience and not just users of well-known software.

Requirements:
A PhD or equivalent in a related field.
Proficient in Python programming.
Deep knowledge of electronic structure theory.
Strong foundational understanding of solid-state physics.
Age under or equal to 35 years.
Desire to work hard and be a team player.

What We Offer:
Competitive salary ranging from 340-480 kRMB (43-62kEURO).
Complimentary free accommodation at the Qingyuan Innovation Laboratory.
An initial commitment of two years with prospects of transitioning into long-term roles, including positions like assistant or associate professorships.
Collaborative environment and the possibility to work with world-leading experimental and theoretical groups.
Strong support from principal investigators.
