About the Role
For informal enquiries, please contact Neophytos Neophytou at N.Neophytou@warwick.ac.uk.
We are seeking a Research Fellow in ‘First Principles Electronic Transport Calculation Methods for Thermoelectric Materials’. The role involves assisting the Principal Investigator (Prof. Neophytos Neophytou) and project collaborators in executing the project successfully. Responsibilities include developing and using numerical first principles methods to assess electronic transport in advanced materials, utilizing DFT and DFPT to extract scattering matrix elements and deformation potentials, and forming electronic scattering rates for use within BTE. You will implement and integrate these rates into BTE, develop and test the software, and validate it through experiments and other calculations.
Specific objectives are: (a) extract scattering rates using DFT and DFPT, (b) couple ab initio extracted scattering rates to the group’s Boltzmann Transport code, (c) explore the thermoelectric potential of complex materials, (d) analyse experimental data and provide guidance for the design and optimisation of the materials’ thermoelectric performance.
You will undertake independent and collaborative research and will be expected to write up your research for publication and present it in conferences. You will be expected to deal with any management/administration problems that may arise from the project and produce and present regular project reports ensuring that the project objectives and deadlines are met.
Full details of the duties and selection criteria for this role can be found in the vacancy advert on the University of Warwick's jobs pages. You will be routed to this when you click on the Apply button.
