About this position
Postdoctoral Position in Materials Science at the Lebanese American University (LAU), Byblos, in the Department of Industrial and Mechanical Engineering.
The project focuses on the theoretical and computational study of electromechanical couplings in two-dimensional materials. The role is full-time and expected to run for two years, with renewal for the second year dependent on satisfactory first-year performance.
Successful candidates will collaborate with interdisciplinary research teams, contribute to high-impact journal and conference publications, supervise graduate and undergraduate students, and help develop research proposals.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have a strong background in condensed matter and materials physics, the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, and advanced computational/numerical methods. Preferred experience includes plane-wave density functional theory, density functional perturbation theory, cluster computing, and continuum mechanics. A strong publication record is preferred.
Application: send a CV, research statement, and reference contact information to Dr. Serge Maalouf ([email protected]) by 2026-09-30.
