About this position

Indiana University Bloomington’s Gao Research Group invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Quantum Materials within the Department of Intelligent Systems Engineering. The position focuses on computational and theoretical condensed matter physics, with research centered on how quantum materials interact with light.

The group uses first-principles methods to investigate low-dimensional, topological, and ferroelectric systems, together with large-scale atomistic simulations and analytical approaches for understanding material properties and dynamics. Research directions include nonlinear optical responses and quantum geometry, light-driven lattice dynamics and topological structures in ferroic materials, and AI-accelerated atomistic simulations.

The postdoctoral fellow will develop and conduct research projects, publish findings in peer-reviewed journals, present work at scientific conferences, and contribute to collaborative research activities. The role also includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and assisting with research proposals and grant applications.

This opportunity is designed to support deeper expertise in computational and theoretical research, independent development of research directions, and professional growth toward future academic careers. The Gao Research Group aims to provide a supportive, collaborative environment that encourages scientific independence, interdisciplinary interaction, and exploration of new research areas.
