<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear all:<br><br>The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National
Laboratory (http://www.bnl.gov/cfn/) is
seeking candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in the
Theory and
Computation group. The research will focus on developing physical
models, efficient
algorithms and computer codes to study electron correlation effects
based on the
random phase approximation (RPA). Exemplary applications will be
directed to
energy-related heterogeneous catalysis. <br><br>Required qualifications include
a Ph.D. in
physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field, strong
background in
first-principles electronic structure theory, and experience in
developing plane-wave
pseudopotential codes. Coding experience on hybrid MPI/OpenMP for large
scale scientific
computing is a plus. The code development is based on a modified version of Quantum Espresso. The work will be directed by Deyu Lu. Position
starts as early as
June 1, 2013. <br><br>BNL policy states that research associate appointments may
be made to
individuals who have received their doctorate within the past five
years. BNL is an
Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer committed to the
development of a diverse
workforce. Log in at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bnl.gov/HR/careers/">http://www.bnl.gov/HR/careers/</a> (Job ID 16337) to
