POSTDOCTORAL POSITION, TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY, ISRAEL
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the group of Profs. J.
Klafter and M. Urbakh at the School of Chemistry of Tel Aviv University in
Israel. The position is available for a period of initially 1 year with the
possibility for an extension of 1 additional year. The research interests
in the group focus on the theory of atomic scale friction and transport
processes in nonlinear dynamical systems, in particular molecular engines
and dynamics in biological systems. The project would suit a candidate with
a background in solid state physics and/or nonlinear dynamics. Knowledge of
computer simulation techniques is highly desirable.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, list of publications and 2
letters of recommendation to: Profs. Joseph Klafter or Michael Urbakh,
School of Chemistry, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, 69978, Tel Aviv,
Israel, Fax: 972-3-6409293; E-mails: [log in to unmask] and
