Postdoctoral Positions in Theoretical/Computational Condensed Matter Physics at LSU

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

Two or more postdoctoral positions 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 the theoretical positions should have knowledge of many body techniques as applied to electronic or magnetic systems. Candidates for the computational positions should have a background with a strong emphasis 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 January 1, 2014. 

Some of the 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 http://www.phys.lsu.edu/newwebsite/research/condensed.html and http://institute.loni.org/lasigma. 

Remuneration:  The annual salary is $54,000 year.  The position comes with a benefits package described in http://uiswcmsweb.prod.lsu.edu/hrm/Employees/Benefits/item57271.html.

Application:  To apply for this position, please email your CV, statement of research interests and arrange to have three letters of reference to Carol Duran at cduran@lsu.edu. LSU is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access employer. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
