Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Simulations of Multiferroic Materials

We now wish to hire a Postdoctoral Researcher in Theoretical Simulations of Multiferroic Materials and Polar Topologies.

Key Responsibilities

The research/duties of this particular position will involve elements of the following:

• Work with the supervisor and other team members to deliver the outputs of the IRC Advanced Laureate Project.
• Perform density functional theory (DFT) simulations of ground-state energies of layered multiferroic materials.
• Development of machine learning models to predict stable material compositions at much lower computational cost.
• Address the influence of strain and electrostatic boundary conditions on polarisation/magnetism.
• Develop phase-field methods for predicting domain wall and topological structure formation via time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equations.
• Collaborate with internal and external researchers.
• Utilise an independent approach to carry the project work forward.
• Report results to team leaders, partners, and funding agencies.
• Support the dissemination of research progress through publications in the top-tier journals and at leading conferences in the field.
• Contribute to partial assistance of postgraduate and undergraduate student/s.
• Communicate the benefits of the research to wider society through active participation in several Education and Public Engagement activities, as required.
• The postdoctoral researcher will receive support to develop their career and will receive training and mentorship in funding proposal applications.
• Ensure all activities are compliant with the Tyndall Quality Management system.
• Ensure all activities are compliant with the required Health and Safety standards.
• Carry out any additional duties as may reasonably be required within the general scope and level of the post.
