Closes 5 December 2018
We are seeking an outstanding Research Fellow to conduct research in modelling the electronic properties of atomically thin topological insulator materials. This research is expected to involve first principle density functional theory simulations, which will be carried out on the high-performance computing facilities, as well as theoretical/analytical modelling of the electronic transport. Ideally, you are a computational/theoretical research associate with a background in condensed matter physics, materials science as well as high performance computing and at least one year of relevant postdoctoral experience. The successful applicant will be responsible for developing quantum mechanical models to investigate electronic structure of atomically thin materials. This Level A/B Academic position will be working with A/Prof. Nikhil Medhekar at Monash University based in Melbourne. What we are looking for:
- The incumbent should possess a completed PhD degree, or a substantial progress towards a PhD degree, in Condensed Matter Physics, or related fields in Physics or Materials Science
- Demonstrated skills and experience in atomistic modelling methods
- Demonstrated ability to use advanced simulation software, and experience with computer programming
- Demonstrated ability to conduct outstanding research and scholarship in an independent manner with a limited supervision.
APPLY NOW. Application closes 5 December 2018
