First principles modeling of renewable energy materials (Argonne National
Laboratory)
The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory
(near Chicago, USA) has an immediate postdoctoral opening in the Theory and
Modeling group. The postdoctoral researcher will work on first principles
modeling of renewable energy materials including photovoltaics and energy
storage materials. Emphases include interfacing first principles modeling
with experimental measurements, and developing algorithms and software to
improve materials property prediction.
Applicants should have expertise in some of the following:
• Density functional theory modeling of materials, especially in the
areas of photovoltaics and/or energy storage
• Development and implementation of algorithms and software for data
analytics, machine learning, and materials modeling
• Computational modeling and analysis of x-ray, electron microscopy, or
other characterization data
• High-performance computing
The CNM Theory and Modeling group consists of several staff scientists and
a dozen postdoctoral researchers and graduate students working closely
together. Please see
http://www.anl.gov/cnm/group/theory-modeling and
http://www.anl.gov/cnm/person/maria-k-y-chan for more information. We are
also involved in extensive collaborations with various experimental and
computational groups at Argonne, the University of Chicago, Northwestern
University, University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign and elsewhere. Postdoctoral appointments are on a one-year
basis, with a maximum term of three years, subject to available funding and
performance evaluation.
Excellent communication and analytical skills are required. Ability to work
independently and in an interdisciplinary collaborative environment,
especially involving experimental colleagues, is expected. Software
programming experience is a plus. A PhD in computational physics,
chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related field is
required.
*Interested candidates should apply by emailing the following to Dr. Maria
Chan (mchan(a)anl.gov <mchan@anl.gov>):*
* 1. A detailed curriculum vitae including a list of publications and
the names and email addresses of three professional references.*
* 2. A cover letter, including*
* a. description of previous materials modeling experience (techniques,
materials, key contributions);*
* b. description of software development experience;*
* c. expected start date; c. USA citizenship/visa/work eligibility
status (if known).*
* 3. One representative publication that best showcases your work.*
The Center for Nanoscale Materials (

Department of Energy’s Office of Science, Nanoscale Science Research
Centers program dedicated to nanoscience and nanotechnology. Argonne is
also home to the Advanced Photon Source, a leading synchrotron light source
in the world. Argonne National Laboratory offers excellent compensation and
benefit packages, and postdoctoral researchers receive extensive career
development guidance. Argonne is a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory
managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC. Argonne is an equal opportunity employer,
and we value diversity in our workforce.
