The initial appointment will be for one year, but can be renewed every year for up to three years. NIMS is one of the world's largest materials research centers, and CMSC is a major grouping of researchers within the Institute, having a strong focus on materials modeling using first-principles methods. The successful candidate(s) will work in the FPS1 group (First-Principles Simulation Group 1) within CMSC-NIMS, together with Dr. T. Miyazaki as well as the group leader, Dr. T. Ohno. The FPS1 group currently has five permanent members of staff and seven post-docs. For further details of the group, see http://www.nims.go.jp/cmsc/. The aim of the research project supporting the post-doctoral positions is to apply large-scale first-principles simulations to investigate the structure and physical properties of nano-structured materials and bio-materials. The work of the post-doc(s) will include the development and application of the linear-scaling first-principles code CONQUEST for the study of such materials. CMSC has access to exceptional computational resources, and the successful candidate(s) will use supercomputers such as the Hitachi SR11K at NIMS and the Earth Simulator in Yokohama for large-scale simulations. The project will be performed in close collaboration with Prof. M. J. Gillan and Dr. D. R. Bowler at the London Centre for Nanotechnology, a joint research centre hosted by UCL and Imperial College. Applicants must have, or expect to obtain before the start of the work, a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline. A strong background in theoretical condensed matter science and experience with electronic structure methods are essential, and a knowledge of bio-materials or biophysics is desirable. The appointment will initially be for one year, but the available funding provides for renewal of the appointment every year for up to three years. The salary will depend on age and experience, but will not be less than 5.2 million yen per year. The initial deadline for applications is April 30, 2006, but the search for candidates will continue until the positions are filled. Candidates should send the following by e-mail in Word, pdf or html format: 1. CV 2. List of publications 3. Reprints of three selected papers 4. Summary of past accomplishments 5. Names and e-mail addresses of two referees.
