The project is part of a EU-funded network on Molecular Spintronics, whose main focus is to investigate spin-transport through molecules, including magnetic molecules. The network comprises both experimental and theoretical groups at Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (Italy), the University of Hamburg (Germany) and the Nijmegen Institute for Molecules and Materials (The Netherlands). The project involves the theoretical investigation of spin-transport through various molecules and it will provide theoretical insights into the experimental activity of the network. Quantitative calculations of the I-V characteristics of molecular junctions will be obtained with the code Smeagol (www.smeagol.tcd.ie), which combines density functional theory with transport theory. Some development aspects of the Smeagol code will be also part of the project and in particular an extension of the present capabilities to multi-terminal geometries is planned. Finally properties of novel molecules synthesized within the network will be investigated with quantum chemistry methods (the TURBOMOLE code). The successful candidate will be based in Dublin, working with Dr.Sanvito, and she/he will frequently visit the various partners in the network, in particular the group of Dr. della Sala at the National Nanotechnology Laboratory. The position is tenable up to two years and eventually renewable for a third one, with starting date in October 2006 or at a mutually agreed convenient date. Applications are accepted until the position will be filled. We are seeking for strongly motivated researchers with previous experience in electronic structure methods including quantum chemistry and/or transport theory. Candidates are invited to send a CV together with the full address of two potential referees (including e-mail) by post or e-mail to Dr.Sanvito at the address below. -- ================================================= Dr. Stefano Sanvito, Director of Graduate Studies School of Physics School of Physics, Ph. : +353-1-6083065 Trinity College Dublin, Mob.: +353-87-4146781 Dublin 2, IRELAND Fax.: +353-1-6711759 http://www.tcd.ie/Physics/People/Stefano.Sanvito/ =================================================
