King's College London and Royal Holloway, London
Salary: £33,476 to £39,528 per annum inclusive of London Allowance
Hours: Full time
Contract Type: Fixed term (3 year) posts
Closing Date: 13 March 2015
Start Date: June 2015
As part of an EPSRC-funded collaboration between Royal Holloway London, King’s College London, Durham and York Universities “Strong Correlation meets Materials Modelling: DMFT and GW in CASTEP”, two fixed-term (3 year) postdoctoral-level post are offered in the Physics departments at Royal Holloway London and King's College, London.
CASTEP is the leading UK code for calculating the properties of materials from first principles. Using density functional theory, it can simulate a wide range of materials and compute physical properties including energetics, structure at the atomic level, vibrational and response properties. In particular it has a wide range of spectroscopic features that link directly to experiment, including vibrational, electronic, NMR, and core level spectra.
The successful candidates will work within an internationally recognised team of scientists in Royal Holloway London, King’s College London, Durham and York to develop methods to model strongly correlated electron systems, in particular Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) and linear response GW.
You should have a PhD degree in computational science, theoretical physics, chemistry, materials science or a related discipline. A strong background in software development and/or in the development of electronic structure methods based on plane-waves and pseudopotentials is also essential.
One post is based in Egham, Surrey where Royal Holloway College is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus and within commuting distance from London. The other is based in the Strand Campus of King's College in central London.
