Postdoctoral Research Associate Position
Theoretical-Computational
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
The Materials Science and Technology Division (MST) of Oak Ridge National
Laboratory announces an opening for a theoretical-computational postdoctoral
appointment for the applications and development of advanced Quantum
Many-Body techniques. The postdoctoral research will include the
calculation of optical properties of nanostructures with Quantum Monte Carlo
(QMC) and Density Functional Theory. Calculations will target materials
properties that overlap strongly with experimental programs carried out in
the MST division and in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS).
The applicant should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry,
or related field. A strong background in some ab-initio electronic
structure method is highly preferred. Depending on the candidate interest
and skills, algorithmic and method development activities are possible. The
applicant is further expected to be capable of conducting world-class
research with the exceptional supercomputers available in the ORNL National
Center for Computational Sciences and must have a demonstrated capability to
communicate results in English by publication in peer-reviewed journals and
presentations at scientific meetings.
Qualified candidates are invited to send a complete CV and publication list,
a statement of research interests, and the names of at least three
references to Dr. Fernando Reboredo, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, P. O.
Box 2008, MS-6032, Oak Ridge, TN 37831-6032, or by e-mail to
