Dear=20 Colleague:

I=20 would like to call your attention to two postdoctoral positions in = nanoscale=20 physics that have become available in my group. The research associated = with the=20 first position will focus on quantum transport in molecular devices, = while the=20 second one will emphasize new solar materials and nanotubes. A general = ad for=20 these positions is appended to this message. Please pass it on to anyone = that=20 you would consider appropriate.

Thank=20 you very much for your help!

Regards,

Jerry=20 Bernholc

TWO=20 POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN CONDENSED MATTER THEORY

Condensed=20 Matter Theory Group of Prof. Bernholc

North=20 Carolina=20 State University, Raleigh

The=20 group is part of the newly formed Center for High Performance = Simulation. We are=20 located in an attractive, state-of-the-art "nanoscience" building at = NCSU's new=20 research campus. The main activities of the group are centered on = large-scale=20 applications and development of electronic structure methods. Specific = research=20 areas include nanoscale materials, molecular electronics, surface and = interface=20 properties and molecular reactivity. We are also active in the = development of=20 new methods.

The=20 ideal candidates would have significant experience with density = functional=20 theory, including quantum transport and nanoscale physics. He/she would = be=20 joining a large and very active research effort, and would be involved = in a=20 number of diverse and challenging projects.

The=20 group interacts significantly with researchers in several departments at = NCSU,=20 as well at Oak Ridge National Laboratories and Triangle = Universities. We are also very = active=20 participants in high performance computing initiatives and have = excellent access=20 to high-end teraflop-rated computers at DoD and DoE supercomputing = facilities.=20

NC=20 State University is one of the vertices of the Research Triangle, a = rapidly=20 growing high-technology area that is home to numerous industrial = research=20 campuses, start-up companies and federal and state research = organizations. The=20 quality of life in the Raleigh area has consistently been = acclaimed in=20 national surveys.

Interested=20 persons should contact Professor Jerry Bernholc=20 (http://www.chips.ncsu.edu/~bernholc/) at bernholc-at-ncsu.edu.
