The successful candidates will join a newly established theoretical research group based at the ELETTRA synchrotron radiation center (http://www.elettra.trieste.it) with strong links with the SISSA condensed-matter theory group (http://www.sissa.it/cm/). He/She is expected to develop strong links with the local experimental groups and to be able to work in a highly multidisciplinary environment. Candidates must hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or related discipline, and have good knowledge of electronic structure theory. Previous experience with first-principles methods as well as scientific programming is required. Additionally, for position 2, some acquaintance with many-body theory and/or time- dependent density-functional theory, though not strictly necessary, would be an advantage. Initial appointment is for two years and consideration of candidates will begin immediately. Interested applicants should submit a CV, including list of publications and name (with e-mail address) of two referees to Stefano Baroni (baroni-at-sissa.it) and to Stefano Fabris (fabris-at-democritos.it) for position 1 or Paolo Umari (umari-at-democritos.it) for position 2 INFM-DEMOCRITOS National Simulation Center and SISSA International School for Advanced Studies via Beirut 2-4, I-34014 Trieste, Italy.
