Post-doc opening on Electronic Transport in Nanostructures

A post-doc position is available in the group associated to Theory and
Modeling of the FAME European Network of Excellence (www.famenoe.org) in
order to work jointly with P. Ordejon (CSIC-Barcelona, Spain), R. D.
Levine (HUJI, Israel), J.-C. Charlier (UCL, Belgium) and F. Remacle and
Ph. Ghosez (ULg, Belgium).

- Research project

The research project concerns the quantum modeling of electronic
transport properties in nanostructures. The objectives are to set up a
unified software for the first-principles modeling of transport
properties based on an open-version of tranSIESTA, and to apply it for
the study of the electronic transport in organic molecules, carbon
nanotubes and ferroelectric tunnel junctions.

- Practical aspects

The initial contract will be for one year, with possible renewal for one
more year, and could start as early as January 2006. The position will
be formally attached to the University of Liege (Belgium) but the
candidate will share his/her time between the different partners.
After an initial period at the CSIC-Barcelona (P. Ordejon), the
candidate will plan scientific stays at HUJI (R. D. Levine), UCL (J.-C.
Charlier) and ULg (F. Remacle & Ph. Ghosez) in order collaborate with
these teams in the use of tranSIESTA for computations on the specific
systems mentioned above and to implement within tranSIESTA additional
theoretical approaches as developed locally.

- Candidate

The candidate should have a PhD in Physics, Applied Physics or
Theoretical Chemistry, a background in the first-principles modeling of
transport properties, and a good experience in coding. Knowledge of
tranSIESTA is not mandatory but would be appreciated.

- Application

Candidates can send

(i) a letter of motivation,
(ii) a CV and
(iii) two recommendation letters

to Prof. Philippe GHOSEZ (Philippe.Ghosez-at-ulg.ac.be).
