Postdoc position: Electronic structure of novel processes and materials

Research
The physical and chemical properties of materials are determined by their structure and composition. The intricate link between these is provided by the electronic structure.
Our research group investigates the electronic structure of materials, surfaces (interfaces) and nano-structures through quantum mechanical ab initio calculations (i.e. no adjustable parameters).

J ob description
Examples of ongoing and prospective projects are:
- fundamental aspects of magnetism in surface processes and chemistry,
- fundamental understanding of the information content of NMR spectra, via modeling based on DFT techniques.

Location
The appointment is in principle at the department Electronic Structure of Materials at the Radboud University Nijmegen. For further details visit http://www.ru.nl/esm/ or http://www.mtin88.science.ru.nl/.

Requirements
Candidates should have a PhD in physics or chemistry with a specialization in computational condensed matter. Good command of the English language is required.
