Job description

Offer DescriptionSkills and Requirements:
– The candidate must have a PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics or related areas.
– A background in computational chemistry is desirable but not compulsory. Knowledge in the modelling of QDs is also required.
– Proficiency in speaking and writing in English.
– Self-motivated and ability to work in a team and willing to coordinate the research in a particular topic.
– A high level of motivation and independent thinking abilities.
– Ability and eagerness to learn new skills outside own discipline
– Presentation skills and able to meet the deadline are also required.Work Program / Duties / Responsibilities:
The Postdoctoral candidate’s primary focus will be on studying the electronic structure and optical behavior of quantum dots (QDs), along with how these properties interact with ligands. This will involve a detailed analysis of the electronic structure, investigating how doping alters these properties, the impact of surface termination, and the role of surface traps. To achieve this, the candidate will use density functional theory (DFT) calculations. These calculations are crucial for predicting the strength of optical transitions in new compounds and determining the exact energy level of dopants in quantum dots. This information is vital for advancing our quantum dot engineering projects
The Postdoc will be incorporated at BCMaterials at the Computational Materials Science transverse lines under the supervision of Ivan Infante, Ikerbasque Research Professors.

The candidate will be in close contact with several renown international groups in the field of QDs, in Europe and the rest of the world.RequirementsAdditional InformationAdditional commentsWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute BCMATERIALS – Basque Center for Materials, Applications and Nanostructures Country Spain State/Province Bizkaia City Leioa Postal Code 48940 Street Building Martina Casiano – 3rd.
