Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington
The Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington, seeks applications for a postdoctoral position with Ronald Cohen in the field of materials by design and the fundamental physics of ferroelectrics. The position will focus on first-principles computational predictions of new materials and simulations of existing materials electromechanical properties under applied electric fields.
Minimum qualifications: A PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field is the requirement for this position. Candidates should have experience with first-principles electronic structure methods, be able to program in c++ and f90, and be able to write and communicate effectively.
Desired qualifications: Experience in first-principles study of ferroelectrics. Experience with molecular dynamics, lattice dynamics, and local and global structural optimization. Experience with correlated materials including transition metal oxides. Experience studying defects and domains in perovskites and other oxides. Successful candidates are expected to be able to work in both independent and collaborative group environments. The appointment is for one year, with the potential for renewal for a second year pending progress and available funding. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled. Interested parties can submit an application via the Carnegie Institution of Washington website. To submit an application through http://bit.ly/1asbfp9. Only complete applications submitted via the Carnegie Institution of Washington website will be considered. The prospective researcher will be working at the Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington in Washington, D.C.
