The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) seeks to fill a post-doctoral research physicist position to perform computational chemistry simulations.
The successful candidate will investigate the mechanisms of nanostructure growth and thin film etching. Candidate will investigate mechanisms of diamond growth and impurity incorporations into diamond structure. Another project that candidate will be involved in is Highly selective etching by remote and direct plasma, where a selective atomic layer etching (ALE) of Si-based materials, such as silicon and silicon-nitride will be studied.
The candidate should be proficient with quantum chemistry methods, including one-configuration methods based on the DFT (density functional theory) and MP2 (Moller-Plesset perturbation theory) approaches, and multi-configurations methods, such as multi-configuration self-consistent (MCSCF) approach. Quantum chemistry methods and the transition state theory will be used for the rate constant calculations. The latter methods will be used in kinetic modelling of the film growth as well as modeling of etching processes. Comprehensive experience in molecular dynamics modelling (ab-initio and classical) of the physics and chemistry of film growth and ALE processes and proven record of collaboration with experimentalists and impact on an experimental program is necessary requirement. Previous experience in working in industry is welcome.
A proud U.S. Department of Energy National Laboratory managed by Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is a longstanding leader in the science and innovation behind the development of fusion energy a clean, safe, and virtually limitless energy source. With an eye on the future and in response to national priorities, PPPL also has begun a strategic shift from a singular focus on fusion energy to a multi-focus approach that includes microelectronics, quantum information science, and sustainability science.
