Postdoctoral Fellowship in Condensed Matter Physics

Applications are invited for one post-doctoral position in the field of ab initio simulations of interactions between water and different solid surfaces including metals and different oxides with potential applications for water splitting. The position is inserted within a wider FAPESP Thematic Project entitled "Interfaces in materials: electronic, magnetic, structural and transport properties". A strong collaboration with other members of the project - both experimental as well as theoretical - is expected.

Candidates are required to have a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related field. 

Experience in ab initio density functional theory methods is a requirement. Knowledge of advanced methods such as the combination of DFT with Non-equilibrium Green's functions, and/or Machine Learning are a plus.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationalities. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP's Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 7,373.10 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 15% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent in items directly related to the research activity.
