Thank you very much and best wishes, Burkhard Militzer --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Postdoc in first-principles simulations in geophysics and physics at UC Berkeley" A postdoc position is available in the group of Prof. Burkhard Militzer at the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at the University of California, Berkeley. The work focuses on the application of condensed matter simulation techniques to planetary science problems in order to improve our understanding of the interior of planets. Quantum Monte Carlo calculations are applied to minerals in the deep Earth. Density functional based methods are used to study fluids at high pressure including hydrogen-helium mixtures in giant planets. Candidates should have experience in first-principles methods and send their applications by email to militzer-at-berkeley.edu using PDF format and "postdoc search" in the subject line. Alternatively use Prof. B. Militzer, 407 McCone Hall #4767, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA. Please include a detailed CV, publication list, a list of 3 references, and a statement of research interests that outlines the qualifications for this position. Consideration of candidates will begin March 15, 2008, and will continue until the position is filled. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Burkhard Militzer Tel: (510) 643-7414 Assistant Professor Fax: (510) 643-9980 407 McCone Hall #4767 militzer-at-berkeley.edu Departments of Earth and Planetary Science and Astronomy University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-4767
