Subject: PhD and Postdoc positions in Theory Department at the Fritz Haber Institute, Berlin

Category: Job

From: Alexandre Tkatchenko

Date: 06-Mar-2009 20:03

Message:

 One PhD position and one postdoctoral position are open in the
 Theory Department (http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/th/th.html)
 at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany.

 The research projects concern the development of new computational methods
 for multiscale simulations of chiral monolayers at metal surfaces. The
 first goal is to develop novel approaches for an accurate treatment of
 molecule--surface and molecule--molecule interactions (e.g., van der Waals
 forces, hydrogen bonding, etc.). The second is to link electronic
 structure calculations to kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to include
 ensemble and time-scale effects and enable fully ab initio treatment of
 configurational and vibrational entropy. These projects are tightly
 integrated into European Marie Curie project "SMALL" (Surfaces for Molecular
 Recognition at the Atomic Level) and will be carried out in close 
 collaboration with leading experimental groups.

 Applicants for the PhD position should hold a Master or equivalent degree (PhD
 for the postdoc position), and should have a strong background in physics,
 physical chemistry or theoretical chemistry. Experience in programming
 (Fortran, C/C++) and strong interest in multidisciplinary research are
 essential.

 We offer competitive salary and attractive working environment in one of the
 most exciting cities in Europe.

 For more information and applications contact: Dr. Alexandre Tkatchenko
 <tkatchen-at-fhi-berlin.mpg.de> or Dr. Xinguo Ren <xinguo-at-fhi-berlin.mpg.de>.
