We

are looking for a Research Fellow 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 NTU's

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 : PhD

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
