Postdoc position - University of Wisconsin-Madison



We invite applications for a joint postdoctoral position at the University of Wisconsin – Madison with Professor Paul Voyles and Professor Dane Morgan in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. We are looking for someone to help us develop and apply transformative tools for structure determination. You will work with a world-class team developing our Universal Structure Identification Toolkit (USIT), which integrates advanced modeling of experiments (STEM, X-ray scattering), molecular simulations, and cutting edge numerical optimization to yield full three dimensional atomic scale structures. You will use this toolkit to determine structures and structure-property relationships of advanced materials in such areas as bimetallic nanoparticle catalysts, spintronic heterostructures, and amorphous alloys. The work is part of active collaborations with top modeling and experimental groups and will enable career expanding interaction and collaboration with multiple researchers in the field.
A PhD in materials science, physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field is required. Familiarity with one or more of modern programming techniques, molecular simulation, numerical methods, or STEM/X-ray simulation is preferred, but capable and enthusiastic applicants with varied background will be considered. The research will develop broadly applicable skills and understanding and we encourage applications from those with a range of materials and modeling interests.
The appointment is initially for one year with the expectation of this being extended if the work is going well. Interested applicants should send a CV in PDF format and contact information for 3 references to group recruiter Guangfu Luo at uwcmghire152@gmail.com. Review of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
Please find more information on Professor Paul Voyles at http://tem.msae.wisc.edu and Professor Dane Morgan at http://matmodel.engr.wisc.edu/

Postdoctoral positions in computational materials science

Two postdoctoral positions in computational materials science are available at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz in the Theory Department, group of Denis Andrienko ( http://www.mpip-mainz.mpg.de/~andrienk/ ). The research project concerns combining atomistic simulations and quantum modeling of charge/exciton transport properties of organic light emitting diodes. The project is funded by European Union and is a part of a broad collaboration of nine industrial and academic partners. The initial contract will be for one year, with possible renewal for up to three years. Applicants should hold a PhD degree and have a strong background in physics, physical chemistry, or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming (C++) is essential. Interested scientists should send an application, a CV, and recommendation letters electronically to Dr. Denis Andrienko ( denis.andrienko@mpip-mainz.mpg.de ).  http://psi-k.net/jobs/postdoctoral-positions-in-computational-...

Scientist

Simulating magnetic materials with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction There is an immediate opening for a Scientist position in the Materials Science and Engineering Department, Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore. We are looking for a   candidate who is strong in magnetic materials simulations using density-functional theory. Our interest is to understand the formation of skyrmions, especially in the evaluation of   Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction parameters, and other important magnetic properties such as exchange and crystalline anisotropies. We welcome anyone who has a good track record of research to apply. The renumeration package, which is highly competitive, will be based on the research experience of the candidate. The first appointment will be for two years and renewable. Interested candidates may send their CVs and letters of recommendation to Dr. Chee-Kwan Gan at gan.cheekwan@gmail.com . The selection of the candidate will not stop unless the ...
