Department: IU Bloomington Chemistry
Location
Bloomington
Position Summary
Department
Information:
The Department of Chemistry at Indiana University consists of a well-rounded, interdisciplinary research
community with cutting-edge expertise in a wide variety of modern disciplines including materials chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic
chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, and biochemistry. Our department is in the top in the US, with our analytical chemistry program
often ranked in the top 10, as well as particular strengths in materials, including for example the groups of Sara Skrabalak
and Xingchen Ye in experiment, as well as my new group in computational materials.
Our facilities used in theory are state of the
art, including our Top 300 computer cluster Big Red 200, in addition to other clusters with specialized configurations. Our department has
also recently received a state-of-the-art NeoArm JEOL microscope. One reason why I personally joined IU Bloomington as faculty is that the
graduate program does feel in a way quite small and tight-knit – while being quite large.
Job Summary:
The
Georgescu Computational and Theoretical Materials Group at Indiana University is searching for postdoctoral fellows with experience in
density functional theory calculations in solids (i.e. use of codes such as Quantum Espresso and/or VASP), to work on correlated electron
quantum materials. This will include performing calculations and building models for novel materials, including nickelate superconductors,
Kagome materials, 2D magnets, and many others. The candidate will ideally also co-mentor undergraduate and graduate students in the group
and be effective in collaboration with a wide variety of experimental groups, both at IU as well as in other departments across the US and
the world. Postdocs will have the opportunity to build a new, multidisciplinary group.
