This is a theoretical/computational postdoctoral position for the prediction and development of strongly correlated materials for use in quantum technologies.

Project activities include the development of hierarchical computational materials discovery schemes combining random structure searching, machine learning, atomistic, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to accurately and rapidly screen material phases, based on their stability and desired optoelectronic properties.

The post is offered on a fixed-term basis for 18 months. The start date can be between August 2025 and September 2025. Hours of work are full time (36.25 hours). Job share arrangements may be considered. The position is based in the School of Chemistry, University of Nottingham in the group of Dr Katherine Inzani.

Candidates should hold a PhD in materials science, chemistry, physics or similar. Please include a CV and cover letter in your application detailing your fit to the criteria in the role profile.
