Dear network coordinator,
Please find attached the announcement for four openings in our group. We 
would appreciate if you could distribute them among the community.
Sincerely,
R.A.de Groot, G.A.de Wijs.

Two PhD student positions and two post-doctoral positions are available 
in the Electronic Structure of Materials group at the University of 
Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
The activities of the ESM group are in the area of computational 
materials science employing primarily first principles electronic 
structure calculations. Emphasis is on fundamental new materials 
aspects, while at the same time strong links with experimental groups 
are maintained.
One PhD position is in the area of surface electronic structure and 
involves collaboration with the scanning probe microscopy and the solid 
state chemistry groups. Current activities in this project comprise the 
electronic structure of nanoscopic particles of magnetite from 
biological origin and organic molecules absorbed on metallic surfaces.
The second PhD position is in the area of a new generation of solar 
cells and is in close collaboration with the Laboratory of Electronic
Components and Materials (ECTM) of Delft University of Technology 
and Helianthos b.v. (Arnhem). It aims to demonstrate a new concept
for solar cells, based on semiconductor superlattices with integrated 
spectrum-selective absorbers. The PhD student will investigate energy 
band structures of superlattices without and with the absorbers using 
first principles molecular dynamics as well as the GW method. 
Involvement with the fabrication of the computer designed superlattices 
in order to verify the computational results in a later stage is expected.
Two Postdoctoral position are in the areas of nano-spintronics 
(involving finite temperature properties of half-metallic ferromagnets as 
well as amorphous transition-metal-boron compounds), 
hydrogen storage materials, organic conductors etc. etc.
The PhD positions are for a period of 4 years. Both postdoctoral 
positions are initially for a one-year period.
Contact information:
Please contact for positions 1, 3 and 4 : Prof. Dr. R.A. de Groot 
(R.degroot-at-science.ru.nl, telephone +31(0)243652211) or Dr. G. A. de Wijs 
(G.dewijs-at-science.ru.nl, telephone +31(0)243652984), both at ESM, IMM, 
RU Nijmegen, Toernooiveld 1, 6525ED Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
For the second position: Dr. M. Zeman, ECTM , Mekelweg 4, TU Delft, 
2628CD Delft, The Netherlands, (M.Zeman-at-tudelft.nl, telephone 
+31(0)152782409), or one of the persons mentioned above.
