This may be a long shot, because this is not bio- or fluidics-related, but let’s post anyway.
We are seeking qualified candidates with interest and background in particle-based (molecular dynamics) simulation of heat transport in semiconducting devices/materials, using simulation packages such as LAMMPS.
This is a postdoctoral position requiring a minimum of PhD in Engineering / Materials Science / Physics or related field. Although not required, experience and interest in the following will strengthen the application:
- Heat transport in nanoscale thermal junctions, especially in the context of promising transistor geometries (e.g., the gate-all-around arrangement).
- Monte Carlo simulation methodology, including phonon scattering by local boundaries.
- Applying Boltzmann transport equation and other continuum approaches to thermal mapping.
- Using density functional theory packages (e.g., CP2K, VASP) to obtain electron and phonon properties of semiconductors.
The position is for up to four years, subject to performance-based annual renewal. At the moment, this position is open to US citizens only. Qualified candidates should contact me directly by sending a direct message on this forum, or to my work email posted here.
