A postdoc position is available in the Materials Theory and Computation (MaTComp) group at Tulane University (New Orleans, LA) under the direction of Prof. Jianwei Sun. The research will focus on density functional theory (DFT) development. Three major directions are: 1) meta-generalized gradient approximations, 2) local hybrid density functionals to treat self-interaction error and strong correlation with a computational efficiency similar to popular hybrid density functionals, 3) calculating/visualizing/modelling the exchange correlation hole for challenging systems that undergird density functional approximations and using the understanding to develop nonlocal density functionals. Additionally, the researcher will apply cutting edge density functionals to solve material problems in the sustainable energy economy and quantum information technology where self-interaction correction is critical. Applicants must have (or have recently completed) a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field. Additionally, the ideal candidate will: * Show experience in developing new theoretical methods in electronic structure theory, with density functional methods preferred. * Possess knowledge of computational chemistry/condensed matter physics software packages, e.g. VASP, Turbomole, Gaussian, etc. * Be able to demonstrate strong skills in implementing new electronic structure theories into existing software. * Possess ability to mentor and work collaboratively with graduate and undergraduate research students.
