About the Opportunity
SUMMARY
The Bansil group is looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in condensed matter theory. The Bansil group conducts research on electronic structure, properties, spectroscopy, and applications of wide classes of complex materials. The current areas of interest include: optoelectronic properties of Weyl semimetals and other topological materials; complex magnetic states such as skyrmions and spin liquids of quantum matter and how they can be probed via x-ray scattering techniques; understanding of anodic and cathodic redox reactions towards more rational design of battery materials; machine-learning approaches for materials discovery for various application domains; quantum materials and sensing; linear and nonlinear responses of materials; properties of heterostructures and interfaces; realistic modeling of various highly resolved spectroscopies such as angle-resolved photoemission, scanning-tunneling, and inelastic x-ray scattering; magnetic and non-magnetic Compton scattering; among other areas.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will perform basic or applied research of a limited scope, primarily using existing theories and methods, but should have the ability and desire to innovate when these are insufficient. They will assist the supervisor in the interpretation and publication of results and grants, maintain the laboratory research team, and may exercise functional supervision over supporting research staff. The primary responsibility is ensuring that the research is completed.
