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.
Two Ph.D. positions at the George Washington Uni ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
We are looking for two motivated Ph.D. students to fill in the following two positions in the Computational Materials Science (CMS) group at the George Washington University. Both positions can start in Fall 2023.
Position 1:
Funded by a recently awarded DOE Energy Frontier Research Center μ-ATOMS, the CMS group leads the Theory Thrust to investigate the structure, opto-electronic, and quantum properties of silicon-germanium-tin (Si-Ge-Sn) alloys. The core idea of the µ-ATOMs center is based on our recent theoretical findings of short-range order (SRO) in Si-Ge-Sn alloys. In this center, the CMS group is collaborating with other experimental and theoretical groups from 9 institutions to deploy next generation semiconductor materials. Through the center, the doctoral student will have ample opportunities working closely with theorists and experimentalists across a wide discipline for developing theory to enable novel properties through controlling SRO.
Candidates interested in this position are expected to have an education background in materials science or condensed matter physics, and preferably experience in quantum simulations.
Position 2:
The CMS group collaborates with both theoretical and experimental teams to elucidate crystal nucleation mechanism. We are developing computational packages which we apply to model crystal nucleation at the atomistic level, with immediate applications in materials synthesis, membrane fouling, and ice nucleation.
Candidates interested in this position are expected to have education background in materials science, chemical engineering or a relevant field, and experience in molecular simulations.
For both positions, qualified applicants should have a good GPA for admission and a strong interest in modeling and theory. Experience in coding using C++, Python, and/or other computer languages under Unix/Linux environment is strongly preferred. Interested candidates should send CV and transcript to Dr. Tianshu Li ([email protected])
