Requisition Id 13821
Overview:
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will focus on the development and/or application of quantum monte carlo (QMC) as well as other correlated electronics structure methods such as, GW and dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), as well as density functional theory, for strongly correlated topological quantum materials at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The applicant will work closely with scientists both at ORNL and institutions primarily associated with the Center for Predictive Simulation of Functional Materials (CPSFM, which aims to develop and apply scalable quantum monte carlo (QMC) methods to problems in condensed matter theory using their flagship open-source QMCPACK code () and QMC methods. This position resides in the Nanomaterials Theory Institute Group with Dr. P. Ganesh in the Theory & Computation Section, Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS), Physical Sciences Directorate (PSD) at ORNL.
The research you will conduct will focus on advancing our understanding of emergent properties in strongly correlated materials, specifically those with topologically protected quantum states, with the goal of revealing the complex interplay of spin, orbit, lattice symmetries and electron-electron correlations . These methods will, for example, enable us to predict with high accuracy properties of new quantum materials with potential applications in dissipationless nano-transport and topological quantum computation. We are also interested in developing databases of material properties using accurate electronic structure methods using automated workflows as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence-based approaches that can inform and improve lower-fidelity methods based on these datasets. Independent and motivated candidates capable of generating novel ideas, planning and executing appropriate theoretical calculations, and extracting meaningful results through innovative analysis methods, working closely with experimental groups pursuing thin-film synthesis and nanoscale characterization, are encouraged to apply. A successful candidate should have a strong demonstrated background in both electronic structure methods and condensed matter theory/material science/physics/chemistry.
