Announcement of Two Postdoctoral Positions (Research Associate) in the Computational Condensed Matter Physics (CCMP) group to work with Prof. Laurent Bellaiche.

- Qualifications: Ph.D in Physics, Materials Science, or a related field. Experience in numerical simulations and condensed matter is required. Experience in first-principles, Monte-Carlo, and/or Molecular Dynamics techniques is highly desirable.

- Research goals: modeling, understanding, and designing ferroelectrics, multiferroics, magnetic systems, and multifunctional materials. Particular topics of interest are: topological defects, light-matter interactions, out-of-equilibrium phenomena, and/or conversion between different forms of energy. Collaborations with experimental research groups and other theoretical/computational research groups are also expected, in order to gain a deep understanding of such complex materials.

- Period of Employment: The position is for one year, renewable upon mutual agreement to a second year and then a third year. The preferential starting date is around July 01, 2022. However, earlier or later starting dates may also be possible.
