Thank you, Psik-coord -----Original Message----- From: owner-psik-coord-at-dl.ac.uk [mailto:owner-psik-coord-at-dl.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Alberto Garcia Sent: 02 June 2006 18:51 To: PSIK-coord Subject: Postdoc in mineral physics in Bilbao A postdoctoral position to perform ab-initio calculations in mineral physics will become available soon at the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the Universidad del Pais Vasco, in Bilbao (Spain). The position is funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education in the framework of the European Science Foundation EUROCORES Eurominsci program. The project, "Ordering of Ions in Minerals", involves researchers from: - Bilbao (JM Perez Mato, K. Friese, A. Grzechnik): ab-initio calculations, superspace analysis methods, high-pressure research, state-of-the art crystallographic structure determination. - Innsbruck (V. Kahlenberg): high-pressure synthesis, structural analysis. - Bochum (M. Fechtelkord): NMR spectroscopy. - Prague (V. Petricek): refinement of non-standard structures. - Copenhaguen (T. Balic-Zunic): mineralogical analysis. The project is led by Alberto Garcia (soon to move to the Materials Science Institute in Barcelona, but with close ties with the Bilbao group). The successful candidate will join the group in Bilbao, performing ab- initio or in general first-principles-based calculations to analyse the relative stability of different ionic orderings in representative minerals, to predict and suggest new structural configurations, and to study related properties. It is expected that there will be strong interaction with the other nodes in the project, including short stays. Prospective applicants must hold a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field. Experience with density- functional calculations, numerical methods, and programming using Fortran, is essential. Familiarity with other relevant methods (such as the Monte Carlo simulation of effective hamiltonians) is a plus. Salary is at the level of a starting associate professor (around 30,000 EUR gross p.a.), through a contract which also includes the standard Spanish health benefits and social-security contributions. The appointment is in principle for two years, with an initial period of one year extended by mutual agreement. Interested candidates should contact Alberto Garcia or J.M Perez Mato , attaching a CV and the names and contact information of two references.
