Position Description: |
Postdoctoral Position in Many-body Quantum Theory for Strongly Correlated Materials Lehigh University The Department of Physics in the group of Dr.
Chinedu Ekuma at Lehigh University (LU), is seeking an outstanding and highly
motivated postdoctoral research associate within the area of strongly
correlated materials using Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT). The successful candidate will enhance computer
codes for strongly correlated systems based on DMFT in order to investigate and
leverage functionalization approaches such as defect engineering to better
understand the role of defects in strongly correlated materials. We have a broad and flexible focus when it
comes to the employed methodologies (effective Hamiltonians and models within
DMFT, many-body perturbation theory, density functional theory, and
high-throughput materials informatics and machine learning), the target
properties (electronic, optical, magnetic, topological), and the potential
technological applications (optoelectronic devices and quantum information).
These areas will be covered by several interrelated Ph.D. and postdoctoral
projects. The group has strong connections to
local experimental groups within LU and National Labs. such as the Sensors and
Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) at the U.S. Army Research Lab. ALC, MD. Requirements Other Desirable Skills The candidate should be familiar with (or willing to learn about) first-principles many-body approaches (especially DMFT + DFT) and machine learning.
