The postdoctoral positions are both for a period of two years. Description of the research areas: Position 1. Research will be conducted on various properties of actinide materials, primarily on the basis of ab initio Density-Functional Theory calculations. The studied topics are: atomistic simulations of nuclear fuel materials, including the effects of defects, vacancies and their diffusion; Ab initio calculations of X-ray scattering off actinide materials; Study of the influence of oxidation on actinide materials. Position 2. The research focusses on electronic structure calculations of bio- materials. To be investigated are novel functional properties of large bio-molecules, applying ab initio Density Functional Theory-based techniques. Theoretical modeling of optical, magnetic, and transport properties will be performed. Prospective candidates are expected to hold a PhD and have an excellent background in theoretical or computational physics or chemistry. Experience with large scale ab initio calculations is desirable, as is also the ability to collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment. At the Physics Department of Uppsala University a strong research environment exists in computational material science and condensed matter theory, which provides an excellent scientific working place for scientists. Qualified candidates are invited to send a CV, list of publications, and names of two reference persons, to the address given below (deadline April 1, 2007).
