For more details please view: are looking for a Research Associate to conduct research in the theory and simulation of nanomaterials with a primary focus on 2D materials. Topics include but are not limited to: 2D ferroelectrics 2D multiferroics topological materials and moiré superlattices (twistronics). The role will focus on developing and applying theoretical models and computational quantum chemistry and machine learning methods to uncover novel properties and phenomena in low-dimensional material systems contributing to NTUs leadership in physics materials science and engineering research.

Key Responsibilities:

Conduct independent and collaborative theoretical and computational research on 2D materials including ferroelectric multiferroic topological and moiré systems.
Develop implement and apply advanced simulation techniques (e.g. density functional theory tight-binding molecular dynamics) to investigate physical properties and phenomena in nanomaterials.
Analyze and interpret computational results; prepare high-quality manuscripts and research reports.
Present research findings at group meetings international conferences and workshops.
Mentor and supervise undergraduate and graduate students in research projects.
Collaborate with experimental groups and external partners to validate and enhance research outcomes.

Job Requirements:

Masters degree in physics chemistry materials science or related field.
Technical experience in quantum chemistry condensed matter physics theoretical materials science.
Familiarity with quantum chemistry (density functional theory) calculations. Working knowledge of condensed matter theory and theoretical materials science. Additional knowledge of areas such as 2D materials ferroelectricity multiferroics topology as well as other methods such as molecular dynamics and machine learning methods would be considered advantageous
Strong programming skills (e.g. Python Julia Fortran C MATLAB) and experience with high-performance computing environments
Demonstrated publication record in reputable peer-reviewed journals
Excellent written and oral communication skills
Strong analytical problem-solving and organizational abilities
Ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary research team
