Postdoctoral Positions in Theoretical/Computational Condensed Matter Physics at LSU

****************************************************************************************************************

Two postdoctoral positions are available at Louisiana State University in

Theoretical/Computational Studies of Correlated Electronic and Magnetic

Systems sponsored by the NSF. Applicants should have a PhD in Physics or a

related field. Candidates for these positions should have knowledge of

many body techniques as applied to electronic or magnetic systems, some

background in high performance computing, and an interest in the

development and application of new computational methods for correlated

electronic many body systems. We will begin evaluating applications

immediately. We expect the postdoctoral positions to be filled no later

than September 1, 2014.

These open positions are funded by a large NSF grant to establish a

state-wide graduate research and education program in computational

materials. Candidates may also be able to participate in an international

research program working with US, German and Swiss faculty. The LSU

condensed matter group has grown significantly recently with seven new

hires and now totals fifteen faculty. More information may be found at
