First-principles methods, particularly density functional theory (DFT), play a critical role in interpreting experimental observations, predicting material properties, and guiding the design of new experiments.At ISTA, we pursue a broad range of experimental studies on quantum materials, including transport, spectroscopy, and magnetism. However, performing high-quality first-principles calculations requires specialized expertise that is not currently available within individual research groups. A dedicated computational materials scientist is therefore essential to enable cutting-edge collaborative research across campus and to bridge the gap between experimental observations ( , , and groups) and theoretical understanding ( , ).We therefore seek an exceptional computational materials science expert at an advanced postdoctoral level who enjoys working across topics and will:
