Message:

Ph.D and postdoctoral associate position are available at Rice University i= n the broad area of atomistic, molecular and multiscale modeling of cement-= based materials. The projects include carrying out bottom-up atomistic and = microtexture predictive simulations. Computational techniques will be integ= rated to approaches from statistical mechanics and physical chemistry to pr= ovide quantitative predictions of properties of cementitious materials acro= ss different time- and length-scales. The research will be carried out at R= ice University=92s Laboratory for Multiscale Materials Modeling. For the post-doctoral position, a Ph.D. in materials science, chemistry, ph= ysics, engineering or a related field is required. The candidate should hav= e well-developed computational skills, a strong background and interest in materials modeling and simulation, preferably ex= perience in the areas of ab-initio calculations, molecular dynamics and Mon= te-Carlo atomistic simulations. Good written and spoken communication skills are expected. To apply, please send a CV, several representative publications, and contac= t information of three references to rouzbeh-at-rice.edu. Evaluation of candid= ates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. For any questions, please contact Dr= . Rouzbeh Shahsavari: Contact information: Rouzbeh Shahsavari, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Principal Investigator, Laboratory for Multiscale Materials Modeling Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Rice University, Houston, TX. Email: rouzbeh-at-rice.edu Phone: 617-872-6507 About Rice University (www.rice.edu): Rice University is located in Houston and is one of the leading teaching an= d research universities of the United States. In materials research, Rice U= niversity is a preeminent international institute and a leader in nanoscience. Times Higher Education (THE), a UK publication= for professionals in education and research, has mentioned Rice No. 1 in t= he world in materials science research, based on the number of citations per paper between 1999 and 2009. Rice is r= anked the nation's 17th-best overall university by U.S. News & World Report= . About Houston: Houston is the 4th largest city in US and is considered the energy capital = of the world particularly because of its great investments in technology an= d research in oil and natural gas, energyefficient infrastructures, renewable energy sources, wind, and solar energy. Houston = is a multicultural city with the second-largest concentration of arts and t= heaters in the US. About the Department: The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice focuses on re= search areas that involve collaborative efforts with professors and student= s from numerous departments and institutes across campus. This freedom to pursue a truly interdisciplinary = research-based education in Civil and Environmental Engineering has benefit= ed the graduate students and postdoctoral associates intellectually and professionally. As the world embraces ever mo= re complex technological approaches, the department stands ready to meet th= e challenge of the future with a strong engineering base and interdisciplin= ary exposure for the researchers of the future.
