[Pw_forum] Open postdoctoral position in computational molecular modelling for geochemical applications

[Marc Blanchard]

A 2 years postdoctoral position is available at the IMPMC laboratory  
(Paris, France).

The proposing group is one of the world-leading groups in the field of  
the theoretical determination of isotopic properties of a system from  
ab initio calculation of the vibrational density of states. The method  
has been successfully applied to solids (e.g. Blanchard et al. 2009).  
The post-doctoral fellowship will be mainly devoted to the development  
of this method to liquid phases. This work will be conducted within a  
collaborative project involving mineralogists and physicists, which  
aims at improving our understanding of the crystal-chemistry of iron- 
bearing minerals and of the geochemistry of minor and trace metal  
pollutants at solid-solution interfaces.

Applicants should have a strong background in quantum molecular  
computer simulations (computer codes employed in this project are  
based on density functional theory). Knowledge in geosciences will be  
greatly appreciated.
