Message:

The Laboratory for the Chemistry of Construction (LC2) Materials in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is seeking an outstanding postdoctoral candidate starting August 1, 2012. A specific emphasis is placed on recruiting candidates with a Ph.D in Chemistry, Materials Sciences, Civil Engineering, Earth Sciences, and/or Chemical Engineering with an expertise in computational materials simulation, quantum-mechanical calculations and related fields with a capacity for world-class research that is reflected in a publication record. While not essential, familiarity with experimental methods for surface characterization is desirable. In collaboration with the University of Minnesota, the successful candidate will work on new approaches to apply parameter free, density functional calculations to simulate and interpret surface reactions in inorganic cementitious minerals. For full-consideration, potential applicants should possess the following qualifications or attributes: (a) A Ph.D. degree from a reputable university in a closely related thematic area and an interest in pursuing a research career, (b) a fundamental understanding of concepts of quantum chemistry, mathematics and computer methods and (c) interest in working in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment. It should be noted that applicants with relevant experience will be given special preference. The successful candidate will be expected to take personal initiative to independently structure research tasks to meet project goals and author innovative research publications. The candidate will also be expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students, develop and teach course materials relevant to their expertise and fulfill project administration functions. If you meet the above requirements and are interested in this position, please provide a detailed CV, a short personal statement explaining your interest in the position and 2 letters of recommendation in support of your application.
