Postdoc position in Condensed Matter / Atomistic Modelling at the
Laboratoire de Métallurgie Physique, University of Poitiers, France. 

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the "Physics of
defects and plasticity" group, based in the Laboratoire de Métallurgie
Physique of the University of Poitiers (France). The focus of the
research will concern dislocation cores, and in particular the study of
core stability and mobility in relation with the presence of impurities.
The materials of interest are silicon and silicon carbide. Numerical
simulations will be mainly performed with first principles methods. 

The position is part of a large project "Atomic Scale Simulation of
Dislocations in Materials: ab initio and semi-empirical calculations",
gathering research groups in four laboratories, and is funded by the
French National Agency for Research. Interactions with groups involved
in the project are possible. 

The group "Physics of defects and plasticity" is constituted by 13
researchers, with a strong expertise in the study of defects in
materials using theoretical and experimental methods, and with national
and international collaborations. 4 researchers are theoreticians, all
active in performing various kinds of numerical simulations (DFT, ab
initio and classical molecular dynamics) with different standard tools,
and are strongly involved in the project. Calculations are performed
using local PC clusters, as well as with access to National Computing
Centers. There is also a large experimental component in the group, with
expertise in the structural and electrical characterization of defects
(DLTS, TEM, RX,...), working in close collaboration with theoreticians. 

The ideal candidate should have a deep background in solid state physics
or materials science, and be very familiar with electronic structure
calculations, in particular Density Functional Theory. In addition, he
should have an experience in defect investigations, especially
dislocations. The position is for a one year term. The appointments will
be available from April 2008. For further information or submission of
your complete application (CV, list of publications, references, letters
of recommendation) please contact
