Subject: Research Associate in Theory of Materials

Category: Job

From: Andrew Horsfield

Date: 13-Apr-2009 12:18

Message:

Condensed Matter Theory Group, Department of Physics

South Kensington Campus

Salary Range: £26,580 - £31,180 per annum

Fixed Term: Up to 36 months

Applications are invited for a Research Associate to work in the Condensed Matter Theory Group of the Department of Physics at Imperial College. The holder of this post will be expected to deploy electronic structure methods to determine the dielectric properties of a range of candidate materials with lower optical losses than silver, which is the current material of choice for plasmonic devices. We will search for candidate materials with even lower losses than silver, which could dramatically improve the performance of plasmonic devices. Our team aiming to reach this goal consists of Dr. Andrew Horsfield and Professors Mike Finnis, Stefan Maier, Sir John Pendry FRS and Adrian Sutton FRS.

You will also be expected to contribute to the department's teaching activities.

You should have (or be about to complete) a PhD in Physical Sciences or an equivalent level of professional qualifications and experience. An in-depth knowledge of the theory of the electronic structure of solids is essential, as is a proven ability to use and adapt a large electronic structure code. A knowledge of the electronic properties of metallic alloys, the GW theory and how to use it in practical calculations, and methods for computing excited states of electrons are desirable.

The post is available for up to 36 months.

Our preferred method of application is online via our website: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/employment; (please select "Job Search" then enter the job title or vacancy reference number into "Keywords" - vacancy ref: NS2009053NT). Please complete and upload an application form as directed.

Alternatively, if you are unable to apply online, please contact Mrs Bhavna Patel, Tel: 0044 (0)207 594 6691; Email: b.patel-at-imperial.ac.uk to request an application form.

Closing date: 28th May 2009

Committed to equality and valuing diversity.

We are an Athena Silver SWAN Award winner and a Stonewall Diversity Champion.
