Position Summary The Earth and Planets Laboratory at Carnegie Science is seeking a  postdoctoral research associate to study the fundamental physics of ferroelectric and multiferroic materials using first-principles based methods. The successful scientist will use density functional theory and machine learning to perform molecular dynamics and other simulations to compute and optimize properties of new and known materials to computationally design better materials, and help interpretexperiments. An experimental component of the research is also possible, using optical, X-ray, magnetic, and dielectric measurements to better understand and improve materials.
