We are seeking outstanding postdocs to work at the University of Minnesota with a team led by Richard James, Mitchell Luskin, and Ellad Tadmor on the development of a state-of-the-art multiscale method based on hybrid ab initio and quasicontinuum techniques (www.qcmethod.com). There are opportunities for postdocs to work on the theoretical development and mathematical analysis of the quasicontinuum method, algorithm and code development, and physics applications related to the design of new advanced materials. The research is supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Science. For more information on the DOE program, click here.
We welcome the application of candidates with expertise in any mathematical, scientific, or engineering discipline who have a strong commitment to research on multiscale methods for the design of novel materials. Familiarity with multiscale techniques is an advantage, but not a prerequisite for application.
Our project team is working closely with collaborators at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of California, San Diego.
The positions are available immediately. Applications will be considered until the positions are filled. Interested individuals should send a a CV, a statement of research experience and interests, and arrange three letters of recommendation to be sent to .
The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity employer and educator.
