The recently funded MonArk NSF Quantum Foundry is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to perform theoretical and/or computational work in the field of two-dimensional and layered materials under the Guidance of Salvador Barraza-Lopez and Martin Mosquera. Topics of interest include: (i) the coupling of optical properties and structure (including non-linear optical processes); (ii) ferroelectric and magnetic 2D and layered materials; and (iii) modeling of devices based on 2D materials. The Foundry has a strong experimental component, and a strong interaction of the Fellow with experimentalists is therefore expected. Funding for two years with a nationally-competitive salary is available. This is a 1-year appointment, renewable based on the need for the position, availability of funding, and continued satisfactory level of performance in the role.

Minimum qualifications:

A PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science.

Additional qualifications:

Previous postdoctoral experience will be considered a plus. The ability to (a) use computational tools beyond DFT such as Quantum Montecarlo, or (b) to develop numerical and computational tools is desirable.

Interested candidates should create an account at this link, and upload a current CV, a Statement of Purpose, and the names and email addresses of three references as a single PDF file.
