A postdoctoral position for a computational chemist or physicist is immediately available with the Hipps group at Washington State University (http://public.wsu.edu/~hipps). The successful applicant must be familiar with VASP and its application to solid state and adsorbed state problems. The immediate research problem involves determining the structure of single molecules of ordered monolayers on high symmetry metal surfaces. Local densities of states are also needed. Ideally, these calculations would then be extended to the calculation of STM images and elastic tunneling (orbital mediated tunneling) spectra, but the applicant is not required to have previous experience in this. The successful applicant will also be expected to train others in the fundamentals of DFT and the use of VASP in particular. The possibility exists that the person hired might have the opportunity to contribute to a special topics course. The position is for one year with the possibility of an extension for an additional year upon mutual agreement. Please send an application letter, complete CV, and three letters of reference to Prof. K W Hipps, Department of Chemistry, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-4630 or to [log in to unmask] ------------------------- Kirk A.
