[Pw_forum] PhD position at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada

[Yao, Yansun]

Dear friends,



          We are looking for excellent candidates for a Ph. D. student position in computational condensed matter physics. The research project will include the development and application of state-of-the-art condensed matter theoretical methods, numerical methods for investigation of material structures and their physical and electronic properties including magnetism, thermoelectricity, ultra-hardness, novel optical properties, and superconductivity. This research will proceed in strong collaboration with experimental studies with research groups at Canada's national synchrotron facility, the Canadian Light Source.

The position is open to all candidates who have a B. Sc./M. Sc. degree in physics, chemistry or related areas, with preference given to those who have (1) knowledge and experience with computer code development for condensed matter material science applications, and (2) familiarity with application of density-functional codes for calculation of condensed-matter electronic and physical properties. The expected starting date is September 2013, but early starting dates are also possible.
