A postdoctoral research position in developing first-principles based multiscale modeling of Li ion batteries is available immediately at the Richard G. Lugar Center for Renewable Energy in Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). The candidate will work on a project on developing and applying multiscale simulation approach to modeling the material processes occurring in Li-ion rechargeable batteries. This project involves close collaborations with the experimentalist scientists. The candidate should hold a doctor degree in a relevant discipline, such as Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in atomistic scale simulations (Density Functional Theory, molecular dynamics, and Monte Carlo methods) and scientific programming (C, C++, or Fortran). Prior experience in the use of software VASP and Materials Studio is desirable. A curriculum vita, including a list of publications, and three letters of recommendation should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Guofeng Wang (wang83 [at] iupui.edu).
