Post Doctoral Associate in the Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM)	16360100 – LS-PHYSICS-GENERAL	Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)	Open until filled
The Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM) at the Department of Physics, University of Florida is seeking 3 Post Doctoral Associates. See https://efrc.ufl.edu/. M2QM is a renewed (Aug. 1, 2022) Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the US Department of Energy; See https://science.osti.gov/-/media/bes/pdf/awards/EFRC-awards-sheet-8-25.pdf. Successful candidates will work on spin transitions and magnetoelectric couplings in molecular magnetic systems, dynamics, and decoherence of spin and clock transition, spin-spin couplings, spin-environment interactions in junctions, simulation of inelastic tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) etc. Experience in DFT and beyond DFT methods, high-level quantum chemistry, machine learning, high-throughput modeling of complex materials, model Hamiltonian-based spin dynamics, or in IETS is a plus. This is a time-limited position.
Postdoctoral Associate	19090000 – EG-MATERIALS SCI ENGINEERING	Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)	Open until filled
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral associate position with an immediate opening in Professor Michele V. Manuel’s group at the University of Florida. The position will be in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The department is a highly collaborative environment, and Professor Manuel’s group studies a range of materials from lightweight alloys to ferrous alloys using alloy design and advanced manufacturing techniques. Highly motivated individuals are sought to develop advanced alloys through the use of computational thermodynamics and kinetics.
