This position provides an opportunity to pursue fundamental studies of functional properties in a variety of quantum materials including transition-metal oxides, topological insulators and Weyl semimetals, and van der Waals materials, etc. As an integral quantum material effort of Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), a U.S. DOE BES user facility, the postdoctoral project will involve development and applications of solid state and electronic structure methods, numerical and analytical modeling of fundamental and dynamic electronic processes on multiple length and time scales, and will assume an active collaboration with the experimental groups at CINT | | | | | | What You Need Minimum Job Requirements: The successful candidate must have a strong background in computational materials science, condensed matter theory, and theoretical spectroscopy. Expertise in electronic structure and related methods are desirable. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in studies of light-matter interaction or spin dynamics in condensed matter. The ability to work creatively and independently, as a part of a diverse team, is important. Strong written and oral communication are required. Education: Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Theoretical Condensed Matter or Materials Physics, Quantum Chemistry, or related discipline (completed within the last 5 years). Note to Applicants: Please apply for this position online, and also send a resume, publications list, research interests, brief statement of future plans and the names of three references to Jian-Xin Zhu (jxzhu@lanl.gov). The position has an initial appointment of two years. Additional information on salary ranges and other benefits can be found online at http://www.lanl.gov/science/postdocs/. Candidates may be considered for a Director's Fellowship and outstanding candidates may be considered for the prestigious Darleane Christian Hoffman, Richard P. Feynman, J. Robert Oppenheimer, or Frederick Reines Fellowships.
