Posted May 4, 2006 ICMAB-CSIC and ULg in Liege
- Description
- Two post-doctoral positions are available, one with Jorge Iniguez at ICMAB-CSIC in Barcelona (http://www.icmab.es/dmmis/leem/jorge) and one with Philippe Ghosez at ULg in Liege (http://www.phythema.ulg.ac.be/Personnes/ghosez.htm), to conduct theoretical research on magnetoelectric systems. Research project The research project concerns the quantum theory and modeling of magnetoelectric materials. It take place in the context of the MaCoMuFiEuropean STREP project that also involves the leading experimental groups in the field in Europe. Practical aspects The initial contract will be for one year starting in September 2006, with possiblerenewals up to 3 years. One position is in Barcelona and the other in Lige but both persons will have to work in close connection and to collaborate with theexperimental groups of the MaCoMuFi project. Candidates The candidates should have experience with first-principles computational methods. Previous work on strongly-correlated systems and development of first-principles methods will be highly valued. Application Candidates can send (i) a letter of motivation, (ii) a CV and (iii) two recommendation letters to Dr. Jorge IIGUEZ (jiniguez-->icmab.es) or Prof.Philippe GHOSEZ (Philippe.Ghosez-->ulg.ac.be).
Posted May 3, 2006 Hunter College of CUNY
- Description
- There is an opening for a postdoctoral researcher in my group at Hunter College of CUNY (City University of New York). The group (PI Neepa Maitra) conducts research in functional development in time-dependent density functional theory, for use in chemistry and in strong-field physics. Experience in density functional theory methods is desirable, although not necessary. This position could be suitable for a person with a PhD in either chemistry or physics. The start date could be as early as September.
Interested parties should send a CV electronically to me at
nmaitra -->hunter.cuny.edu
and have three letters of recommendation emailed there.
(If preferred, you may send the materials by mail to:

Applications will be considered immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Posted April 13, 2006 Post-doctoral positions at Idaho National Laboratory
- Description
- Atomistically informed mesoscale simulation of polycrystalline materials
The recently formed Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation (CAMS) at Idaho National Laboratory has post-doctoral openings in the simulation of nanocrystalline and polycrystalline materials. The main emphasis is on linking large-scale, massively parallel atomistic simulations of nanocrystalline materials with mesoscale simulations of coarse-grained materials to elucidate the fundamental effects of ion irradiation on materials microstructure and its evolution under the effects of temperature, stress and irradiation. Both metals and predominantly ionic metal oxides will be considered as model materials. A Ph.D. obtained on some theoretical subject in condensed-matter physics, materials science, physical chemistry, chemical engineering or a related discipline with experience in atomistic and/or mesoscale modeling is required. US citizenship is not required. Please send resume and names of at least three references to
Dr. Dieter Wolf, Center for Advanced Modeling and Simulation, Idaho National
Laboratory, P.O. Box 1625, MS 2211, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-2211; e-mail:
