Overview:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will develop and apply electronic structure theory approaches to examine the fundamental properties of a range of advanced materials. Research efforts will include the application of density functional theory packages and in-house codes, and the development of supplemental numerical tools, to describe competing structural phases and the vibrational and electronic structure in materials with defects and disorder. This effort will further seek to implement strategies to leverage machine learning techniques to accelerate the design and discovery of novel materials.
The Materials Theory Group has a background in using first principles methods to examine electronic and thermal transport, magnetic properties of advanced materials, thermoelectrics, functional oxides and weakly bonded materials. The incumbent will have opportunities to develop research methodologies as well as...
