About this position
Northeastern University invites applications for one or more Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in computational quantum materials and devices. The appointments are based at Northeastern’s Innovation Campus in Burlington, Massachusetts, within the broad Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute and its Experiential Quantum Advancement Laboratories.
Researchers will join Professor Hai-Ping Cheng’s research group and contribute to theoretical and computational studies of molecular magnets, oxide coating materials developed for the LIGO scientific collaboration, and other quantum materials. The work includes computational discovery of new quantum and optical materials, investigation of heterogeneous structures, demonstration and interpretation of their properties, and development of associated sensing devices and applications.
The postdoctoral researchers will use computational research facilities to develop new methods and techniques while conducting independent experimental or computational/theoretical projects under the broad guidance of faculty supervisors. The role also involves preparing research papers, presenting findings at conferences, contributing to grant proposals and reports, supervising or assisting undergraduate and graduate researchers, supporting laboratory maintenance, and participating in daily research activities.
The research environment is interdisciplinary and connected to Northeastern’s Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute, offering opportunities to work across quantum materials modeling, optical materials, sensing technologies, and device applications.
