The Simoncelli group in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in theoretical-computational materials science. The successful candidate will advance research in the theoretical formalism and machine-learning simulation framework to describe coupled transport phenomena, involving electronic, spin, and vibrational
excitations in energy materials with an arbitrary degree of atomic disorder. Experience in one or more of the following areas is highly valued: - First-principles and machine-learning-based simulation approaches for electronic and magnetic properties of materials. - Many-body Green's function formalism. - Coding (Python, C++, PyTorch) and parallel computing (MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, Kokkos). - Experience in
research communication through conference presentations and publications. - Ability to work well in a team and experience in mentoring students. The position is expected to begin on January 1, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter. It is funded for one (1) year, renewable contingent on performance and funding.
