Postdoctoral positions in large-scale quantum-based molecular dynamics simulations available in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory
The Physics and Chemistry of Materials group of the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking candidates for one or more postdoctoral positions in the areas of electronic structure theory, principally density functional theory (DFT), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with applications to complex fluids, warm dense matter, and dense plasmas. Candidates are sought for the development and application of next generation quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulation tools, including:
• Orbital-free and Orbital-based DFT MD methods;
• Time-dependent DFT methods for determining dynamic properties such as electrical conductivities and stopping power;
• Associated algorithms for massively-parallel hybrid compute architectures;
• Develop analysis tools for complex, correlated mixtures.
Required Skills
Candidates must have received a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Materials Science, or an equivalent field within the last 5 years. Demonstrated expertise within the fields of electronic structure theory, quantum molecular dynamics, plasma theory, and/or computer programming is highly desirable.
Technical questions may be directed to Edmund Meyer ([log in to unmask]), Chris Ticknor ([log in to unmask]), and Lee Collins ([log in to unmask])
