We are offering two postdoctoral positions in the area of Density Functional 
Theory (DFT) and Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) in the Theory Group of the 
Materials Science and Technology Division (MSTD) of Oak Ridge National 
Laboratory (ORNL). The appointees will work with the support of a strong 
scientific team, in ORNL and around USA, developing new approximations for 
DFT from QMC generated data in highly inhomogeneous electronic systems. The 
support team includes F. A. Reboredo (MSTD-ORNL), J. Kim (National Center of 
Supercomputer Applications, Urbana-Champain), M. Eisenbach (Center for 
Computational Sciences, ORNL), R. Q. Hood (Lawrence Livermore National 
Laboratory), D. Nicholson (Computer Science and Mathematics-ORNL), P. R. C. 
Kent (CNMS-ORNL), and G. M. Stocks (MSTD-ORNL). In addition, the appointees 
could carry out a second project involving applications of either QMC or DFT 
methods to materials to be discussed among several possibilities according 
with the research interests of the applicants and local funding.
