[Wien] ad for postdoc position

[Ilya Elfimov]

Dear Peter,

Our group has a position available for applicants at a post-doctoral  
level.
I was wondering, if it would be appropriate to post an enclosed ad in  
wien2k mail-list.
Also, we would be very grateful if you could distribute this information
to people who might be interesting in this position.

Thanks,
Ilya


Computational Physics Post-doctoral Position:

We have a post-doctoral level position to fill in ab-initio  
calculations to study
interface and surface phenomena within the Advanced Materials and  
Process Engineering
Laboratory (AMPEL) at the University of British Columbia.  AMPEL is a  
multidisciplinary
center with strong collaborative research in physics, materials science,
chemistry, and engineering.  The ideal candidate would have a strong  
background
in computational physics with explicit experience in full- and pseudo- 
potential
density functional theory, and a strong interest in exploring the  
role that surfaces and
interfaces can play in designing new materials.

The projects include:  epitaxial influence on magnetic and electronic  
structures of
highly correlated novel oxides, the influence of solute atoms on the  
interface mobil-
ity in metals and magnetic properties of the austenite-ferrite  
interface in iron; the
surface reconstruction and defect formation on complex oxides.
In addition, the successful candidate is expected to have good  
programing skills as
well as working knowledge of high performance computation and Linux  
operating
system.

Salary will be competitive, and will be commensurate with  
qualifications and
experience. The appointment will be initially for one year and  
renewable for a
second year. The position is immediately available and to receive full
consideration applicants are requested to submit their resume and a  
list of at
least two references by March 31, 2007 to Ilya Elfimov at  
elfimov at physics.ubc.ca.

The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is  
committed to
employment equity. We encourage all qualified persons to apply,  
however Canadian
citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. Information  
on the AMPEL
laboratory may be found on the web at: www.ampel.ubc.ca.
