A post-doctoral position is available in the area of molecular dynamics
simulations of adhesion, friction, and lubrication. The position involves
both the development of methods/algortihms for the simulations and
applications to problems of technologivcal importance. Issues to be
addressed include: potential energy functions for surfaces and interfaces,
relaxation and energy transfer dynamics at interfaces and wear (i.e.
chemical reactions) of sliding surfaces. An important component of the
research is direct QM/MM dynamics of sliding surfaces. The
high-performance computing architecture available for this research
includes a 24 processor IBM-SP and a 54 processor SUN cluster. Please
contact William L. Hase, Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University,
Detroit, MI 48202, USA; email [log in to unmask] Wayne State University
is an equal opportunity employer.
