 >> Post-doctoral position at ENSC Rennes, France
 >>
 >> "Solid-State NMR and Modelling: Converging Tools for the Development
 >> of New Materials"
 >>
 >> Position: A full research 18-month post-doctoral position is open at
 >> the Chemical Sciences Laboratory, ENSC Rennes
 >> (http://scienceschimiques.univ-rennes1.fr/), which is located in
 >> Brittany (France).
 >>
 >> Project: Our project intends to develop an analytical tool combining
 >> 95Mo solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy and DFT calculations in
 >> order to correlate 95Mo measurements with a structural hypothesis.
 >> Since it appears that in many cases, the complexity of the
 >> experimental ssNMR results require a theoretical analysis for their
 >> complete understanding, a large part of the project is devoted to the
 >> first-principles calculations of NMR parameters. The position will
 >> focus on that part of the project. Electric field and/or shielding
 >> tensors will be computed using quantum chemical methods. The
 >> calculations will be mainly performed in the framework of the DFT
 >> using the GIPAW approach (C. J. Pickard, F. Mauri, Phys. Rev. B. 2001,
 >> 63, 245101).
 >>
 >> This project will be carried out in tight collaborations with C. J.
 >> Pickard, UC London, and with the Solid-State & Materials group of our
 >> lab and solid-state NMR spectroscopists at the University of Lille via
 >> High Field NMR Network (TGIR-RMN FR 3050 CNRS). This project is funded
 >> by the French National Agency for Research (ANR).
 >>
 >> Requirements: Required qualifications include a Ph.D. in the field of
 >> theoretical chemistry, solid-state physics or ssNMR. Good
 >> communication and organisational skills, and the ability to work
 >> independently and collaboratively should be demonstrated.
 >>
 >> Starting date: Flexible (Autumn 2010 / Winter 2011)
 >>
 >> Salary: The fundings correspond to eighteen months from the starting
 >> date. Income will be around 2200 € after taxes.
