Job summary

King's College London’s Department invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the Theory and Simulation of Condensed Matter group, focusing on materials modelling of ultrathin ferroelectric films. The project aims to manipulate polarization and to design ferroelectric thin films with the desired magnitude and direction of polarization.

The successful candidate will develop machine learned interatomic potentials for studying these films and will work at the Strand Campus in central

Qualifications

BSc in Physics, Materials Science or related subject.
PhD in Materials modelling, computational physics or related subject (either complete or close to completion).
Excellent programming and data analysis skills.
Experience of atomistic simulation techniques.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Excellent communication skills.

Responsibilities

Develop machine learned interatomic potentials for the study of ultrathin ferroelectric films.
Produce strategies to manipulate polarization in ultrathin ferroelectrics.
Design ferroelectric thin films with the desired polarization magnitude and direction.
Based in the Physics Department at King's College London, Strand Campus, central London.
