Laboratory of Advanced Materials and Strategic Minerals (LMM)<\/a><\/p>\n

The NanoMat research group at UFLA invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in computational modeling and multiscale simulation of functional materials. The group values technical rigor, methodological depth, and scientific independence.<\/p>\n

This position is particularly suitable for candidates seeking to consolidate an independent scientific profile. The selected candidate will be supervised by Prof. Raphael L. M. Lobato, in collaboration with Prof. Jenaina R. Soares, within the framework of research activities in Advanced Materials and
\nStrategic Minerals.<\/p>\n

The candidate is expected to take intellectual leadership in a defined subproject and contribute as first author to high-quality, peer-reviewed international publications. Research activities will focus on:<\/p>\n

\u25cf Atomistic simulations of the physical and chemical properties of solids, surfaces and
\nmolecules using density-functional theory-based methods
\n\u25cf Multidisciplinary research with applications in environmental and soil science, as well as
\nrenewable energy materials.<\/p>\n

The project involves scientifically challenging problems at the interface of electronic structure and
\natomistic modeling.<\/p>\n

Required Qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u25cf PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, or related fields
\n\u25cf Demonstrated experience in:
\n\u25cb Density Functional Theory (DFT)
\n\u25cb High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments
\n\u25cb Scientific programming (Python, Fortran, C\/C++, or similar)
\n\u25cb Atomistic simulations and multiscale modeling
\n\u25cf Strong written and spoken English<\/p>\n

Expected Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n
