Post Doctoral Associate in the Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials M2QM

Post Doctoral Associate

The Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM) at the Department of Physics University of Florida is seeking 3 Post Doctoral Associates. See M2QM is a renewed (Aug. 1 2022 Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the US Department of Energy; See Center programs ranges from the synthesis and characterization of theseemergent new materials to a systematic computational understanding of their manybody quantum behavior. The fundamental science of the M²QM aims to address the two primary technological challenges: 1 how to create qubits for intrinsically quantum computingand 2 how to replace elements of traditional computers and sensors with intrinsically quantum moleculebased devices that are energy efficient aswell as fast and adaptive. In this setting reliable swift allelectron calculations of magnetically complex materials are crucial.

Successful candidates will work on spin transitions and magnetoelectric couplings in molecular magnetic systems dynamics and decoherence of spin and clock transition spinspin couplings spinenvironment interactions in junctions simulation of inelastic tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) etc. Experience in DFT and beyond DFT methods highlevel quantum chemistry machine learning highthroughput modeling of complex materials model Hamiltonianbased spin dynamics or in IETS is a plus.

The Department of Physics particularly welcomes applicants who can contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment through their scholarship teaching mentoring and professional service. Please see for more information about diversity and inclusion in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The university and greater Gainesville communities enjoy a diversity of cultural events restaurants yearround outdoor recreational activities and social opportunities.

The salary range is $48000 $58000 commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Ph.D. in Physics

For full consideration applications must be submitted online at (search job524153 and must include: 1 a cover letter 2 full curriculum vitae (including publication list) and(3 the names and email addresses of three references must be provided. An email will be sent to your references requesting them to upload their confidential letter to the submission packet. Please also indicate the research areas in which you are interested. For more information please contact Professor HaiPing Cheng the director of M²QM .

These positions are tenable for up to three years depending upon significant achievement andmutual interest. All postdoc and research scientists are expected to interact with other M²QM members and advise students.

All candidates for employment are subject to a preemployment screening which includes a review of criminal records reference checks and verification of education.

Time limited positions are based on circumstances such as funding sources which control the length of time for which the position is available. A timelimited position has the same rights as a position with a regular appointment modifier except such position does not have rights provided for layoff recall and notice of nonreappointment. It is at the discretion of the college or unit to determine if a position is timelimited.

The selected candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered official if a designation of Issued to Student is visible. Degrees earned from an educational institution outside of the United States require evaluation by a professional credentialing service provider approved by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) which can be found at University of Florida is an equal opportunity institution dedicated to building a broadly diverse and inclusive faculty and staff. Searches are conducted in accordance with Floridas Sunshine Law. If an accommodation due to disability is needed in order to apply for this position please callor the Florida Relay System at(TDD).
