Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or significant disciplines 2. Strong theoretical background in electronic structure simulation, materials modeling and Python Programming tasks and Responsibilities A Postdoctoral Fellow (""postdoc"") is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research expertise acquired in their doctoral programs or to lgain new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. In the process of further developing their own research expertise, Information technology is expected that Postdoctoral Fellows will also play a significant function in the performance of research at the University and augment the function of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. A Postdoctoral Fellow works under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the Fellow, and Information technology is expected that the faculty mentor will impart the realities, and variety, of scientific careers, and will encourage practices outside the laboratory to broaden postdocs' aspirations. Within the confines of the particular research focus assigned by that faculty member, the Postdoctoral Fellow functions with a considerable degree of independence and has the freedom (and is expected) to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment. Thus, the function of Postdoctoral Fellows is clearly differentiated from full-time technical employees.

As an EOE/AA employer and an ADVANCE Institution that strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte encourages applications from all underrepresented groups. candidates subject to criminal background check. Other Work/Responsibilities This position is designated to execute research in condensed matter theory and computational materials science. Specifically, the candidate will need to develop the scientific software to automate the screening of electronic materials. To achieve this goal, the candidate needs to be familiar with atomistic simulation, materials modeling and computer programming. The employee is expected to carry out original research work and to publish regularly in refereed professional journals. employee should be able to exercise scientific judgment on a day-to-day basis. He will evaluate incoming information in the form of experimental data and observations, written literature documentation, and oral communications, and will use this information to make judgments about what step(s) will next lead to progress in the project(s).
