Subject: Postdoctoral position at UC Santa Barbara

Category: Job

From: Chris Van de Walle

Date: 11-Sep-2008 20:40

Message:

A postdoctoral position in Computational Materials Physics is available to work with Prof. Chris Van de Walle in the Materials Department and the Solid State Lighting and Energy Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Candidates should have experience with electronic structure and condensed matter theory. They should also have a keen interest in materials physics and a motivation to interact with experimentalists. Good communication skills (writing papers, making presentations) are required.

The project will encompass one or more of the following areas: first-principles calculations (density-functional theory) for surfaces, interfaces, and point defects; development/application of techniques to overcome band-gap problems; and modeling of device structures, including Schroedinger-Poisson simulations and/or k.p calculations of band structure.

Applications should include: (1) Curriculum Vitae, (2) Publication List, (3) One-page summary of accomplishments to date, and their significance, (4) Names and contact information (including email) of three references.

Professor Van de Walle’s group works on a variety of topics ranging from new materials for solid-state light emitters to hydrogen-storage materials. The Solid State Lighting and Energy Center, directed by Profs. S. Nakamura and S. DenBaars, comprises more than 50 researchers, including faculty, visitors, postdocs and graduate students, and is focused on developing novel technologies for solid-state light emitters and energy conversion. The UCSB campus offers a unique environment, both in terms of collaborative research and natural beauty. Competitive salaries are offered, based on qualifications and experience.

More information about UCSB, about the Solid State Lighting and Energy Center, and about the Materials Department can be found at www.ucsb.edu, http://ssldc.ucsb.edu, and www.materials.ucsb.edu. Information about Prof. Van de Walle’s research group can be found at www.mrl.ucsb.edu/~vandewalle.

For more information or to apply, please contact Prof. Chris Van de Walle (vandewalle-at-mrl.ucsb.edu).
