Dear all,
I wish you a happy new year, with lots of exciting results :-)
Sorry for cross posting:
A post-doctoral position is available at Ecole Normale Supérieure de
Lyon (ENS-Lyon, France). The position is now open, and funded for 12 months
from starting date. The net salary will be between 2300 and 2500 eur
net/month depending on the candidate experience.
The successful candidate will develop and test methods to realize
hybrid quantum method/classical force fields (QM/MM) or quantum method
high level/quantum method lower level (QM/QM') calculations.
This project is focused on calculations in heterogeneous catalysis.
Ab initio methods will be coupled to standard quantum chemistry packages
as well as molecular dynamic codes. Besides simple test reactions,
applications will include realistic models of complex systems used
in heterogeneous catalysis.
Applicants should hold a PhD in theoretical chemistry/physics, applied
computer science, or other related areas with a competitive track record.
Candidates are required to have experience in numerical scientific
computing, with either VASP or CPMD knowledge.
Fluency
in a high-level programming language, such as FORTRAN90
or/and C/C++ is a requirement. Experience with parallel computing
libraries, such as MPI, and extensive experience in a unix/linux
environment is a definite advantage.
Scientific meetings and stays in Saudi Arabia at KAUST will take place.
The aim of KAUST is to become one of the top leading world class
university within 10 years (see www.kaust.edu.sa). To reach this
objective, world class scientists and research institutes (among
which ENS-Lyon) are associated with
the education and research buildup of KAUST. Several challenging scientific
problems have been identified and human and material resources have been
gathered to solve them.
Motivated candidates are invited to send their CV, including a short
motivation for carrying out this project, list of publications, abstract
of research results (1 page) and two recommendation letters by e-mail
(preferred format pdf or plain text) to
