The Delaire Research Group at Duke University has a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) position open immediately. The position is to work on studies of atomic structure and dynamics in solid-state inorganic materials. The Delaire group conducts scattering experiments (neutrons/x-rays) and materials simulations (DFT, MD, AI-ML) to investigate atomic dynamics, transport and thermodynamic properties of energy materials, functional materials and quantum materials. The PDRA position is open immediately. Applicants with a Ph.D. in physics, solid-state chemistry or materials science, or related fields, are encouraged to apply. The PDRA position seeks candidates with established expertise in first-principles materials modeling, machine learning techniques, and general proficiency with computational science and programming. Expertise in simulations of atomic dynamics (phonons, diffusion) is especially valuable. Good knowledge of scattering/diffraction theory and some exposure to experiments is also valuable. We seek a creative individual with a demonstrated track record of productive research. The successful candidate must have excellent written/oral communication skills, be committed to teamwork, and thrive in a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary research environment. Our group offers a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive work environment with many opportunities for professional development.
