We are pursuing several broadly defined research areas and are looking for strong candidates that would like to join a very active and diverse research community. Our investigations focus on the properties of nanoscale materials and processes, and on reduced-scaling quantum simulation methods. Please pass the ad below to well-qualified persons that you consider appropriate for the positions. Thank you very much for your help! Regards, Jerry Bernholc bernholc-at-ncsu.edu ------------------------------------------------------- POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN THEORETICAL/COMPUTATIONAL PHYSICS AT THE NANOSCALE North Carolina State University, Raleigh Several postdoctoral positions in Theoretical/Computational Nanoscience are available in Professor Bernholc's group. The group specializes in computational physics at the nanoscale, including nanostructured materials, molecular and nanoscale electronics, simulation of biomolecular processes and reactions, energetic materials and energy storage. We are also working on development of new methods in collaboration with mathematicians and computer scientists, focusing on reduced-scaling quantum simulation approaches for application on the emerging "petascale" supercomputers. The group is part of the newly formed Center for High Performance Simulation and is located in an attractive, state-of-the-art "nanoscience" building at NCSU's new research campus. We interact significantly with researchers at other departments, and with nearby universities and national laboratories. We are also very active participants in high performance computing initiatives and have excellent access to some of the largest supercomputers in the world. We are seeking highly qualified candidates with substantial experience in density functional theory and nanoscale physics, including the development of methods. They would be joining a large and very active research effort, and would be involved in a number of diverse and challenging projects. NC State University is one of the vertices of the Research Triangle, a rapidly growing high-technology area that is home to numerous industrial research campuses, start-up companies and federal and state research organizations. The quality of life in the Raleigh area has consistently been acclaimed in national surveys, and high quality cultural and recreational opportunities are readily available. Interested persons should contact Professor Jerry Bernholc (www.chips.ncsu.edu/~bernholc/) at bernholc-at-ncsu.edu.
