Postdoc positions in Computational Materials Design

We are happy to announce multiple openings in the area of computational materials discovery and design. Postdoc positions are for a period of up to 3 years. Normal duration of a PhD is 3 years, of a Masters program 2 years. Successful candidates will develop and apply novel methods of computational materials discovery (ranging from optimization algorithms to machine learning and data mining). Newly developed methods will become part of our USPEX code (http://uspex.stonybrook.edu) and will be applied to problems ranging from physics of extreme conditions to biochemical studies, from energetic to electronic materials. Successful candidates will have solid background and a degree in at least one of these fields: physics, chemistry, materials science, biochemistry, Earth sciences, and programming skills are very desirable (though not necessary). Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a publication list, and reprints of a few selected publications to Prof. Artem R. Oganov (a.r.oganov@mail.ru).
The positions are available immediately, and the starting date is negotiable. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Selected applicants will receive a highly competitive compensation package (salary commensurate with experience, qualifications and previous publication record, housing allowance in case relocation to Moscow will be needed, medical insurance). Excellent travel and computing support will be provided. For further information please contact Prof. Artem R. Oganov (a.r.oganov@mail.ru).
