Post doctoral position=20 in computational modeling of iron nanoparticles =09A two years post-doctoral position is available in the physical and chem= ical modeling group of =91Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie des Nano-Objets= =92 (LPCNO), Toulouse, France. The position is funded by the French Nationa= l Research Agency (ANR), through the young scientist research program. The = initial contract will be for one year with a possible renewal for a second = year. The starting net salary will be around 1800 =80, possibly higher depe= nding on working experience. =09The LPCNO is a research laboratory jointly run by INSA, CNRS (French Nat= ional Research Center) and the University of Toulouse. The main field of re= search of the laboratory relies on the combination the physical, chemical a= nd modeling aspects of metallic nano-particles in order to study/improve th= eir magnetic, optic, electronic or catalytic properties. =09The entitled project aims at studying, by means of ambitious density fun= ctional theory calculations, the effects of several adsorbed species (H+, C= l-, amines=85) on the structure and magnetic, catalytic properties of iron = nanoparticles. More precisely, thanks to the use of slab models and small-s= ize molecular nanoclusters, we propose to understand the nanoscopic effects= of surface species on nanoparticle morphologies, and their magnetic proper= ties. Additionally, in the Fischer-Tropsch reaction=92s context, we wish to= investigate CO adsorption and decomposition and the following chemical eve= nts that leads to the formation of hydrocarbon scaffolds. =09The ideal candidate has a=A0Ph.D in chemical physics, physical chemistry= , or materials science as well as a strong background and extensive working= experience in first principles electronic structure calculations.=A0Progra= mming experience, ability to work effectively in an interdisciplinary team = and good communication skills are highly desirable.=A0Hence, the candidates= must have motivation to interact with experimentalists. Interested applica= nts should send their CV, list of publications, cover letter and three cont= act references to Dr. Iann Gerber by e-mail (igerber-at-insa-toulouse.fr). Scr= eening of the applicants starts middle December 2011 and will continue unti= l the position is filled. Ideally the candidate should start in March 2012.
