Monash: Research Fellow – Modelling of Electronic Materials

Application close 17 May 2022

We are seeking a Research Fellow (Level A or B depending on experience) to conduct research in the atomistic modelling of electronic materials. In this role, you will work on a project led within the Computational Materials Laboratory, aiming to discover and design the properties of materials that are relevant to low energy electronics technologies. You will focus on employing a combination of atomistic first-principles methods to simulate electronic structure and transport in various materials of interest. This project also offers you an opportunity to collaborate with experimental researchers within FLEET focusing on the broader goal of developing future low energy electronic devices.

To be successful in this role, you must have a doctoral qualification in materials science/condensed matter physics or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated hands-on skills and experience in ab initio first principles and transport simulations, preferably with applications to electronic materials.

Based in Melbourne, the fellow will be working with FLEET Chief Investigator A/Prof Nikhil Medhekar at Monash. What we are looking for:

  • PhD in experimental condensed matter physics, or a closely related field
  • Demonstrated hands-on skills and experience in ab initio first principles and transport simulations, preferably with applications to electronic materials
  • Demonstrated skills and experience in utilising advanced computer software for first principles simulations and the use of such software on high performance computing facilities
