Postdoctoral Opportunity at Los Alamos National Laboratory
The Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Physics Group at Los Alamos National
Laboratory is seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral opening in the
area of multiscale modeling and simulation of organic/inorganic interfaces
as applied to nanoscale materials and filled polymers. The successful
candidate will apply and design coarse graining techniques based upon
energetics derived from electronic structure calculations to
organic/inorganic systems. This position will be partially supported by: 1)
the recently awarded NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) for
Directed Assembly of Nanostructures, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
(RPI) and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC); and, 2)
a
Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Computational
Materials Science Network (CMSN) project, "Polymers at Interfaces" (Gary
Grest, PI, Sandia National Laboratory). This position will involve active
collaboration with the interdisciplinary team of scientists participating in
both the NSEC and CMSN projects.
To apply, send a resume, publications list, research interests, brief
statement of future plans and the names of three references to:
Dr. Antonio Redondo ([log in to unmask], 505-667-9738), or
Prof. Pawel Keblinski ([log in to unmask], 518-276-6858), or
Dr. Joel D. Kress ([log in to unmask], 505-667-8906)
Applicants must have received a Ph.D. within the past 5 years or should
plan to complete their Ph. D. studies by early 2002. Postdoctoral
appointments are typically for a two-year period with renewal of up to 3
years, depending on funding and mutual interest. US citizenship (or
residency) is not required. Rensselaer has a strong institutional commitment
to the principles of diversity. In that spirit, we are particularly
interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people,
including women, minorities, disabled individuals, and veterans.
