Job AvailabilityAdvanced Atomistic Modelling of Multi-Layer Optical CoatingsAn EPSRC sponsored postdoctoral fellowship is available for 3 years in the Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London. You will work within an internationally recognised team of scientists in studies of the composition, structure and electronic structure of functional coatings. Typical optical coatings are nanostructures consisting of several different oxide or metal layers deposited on a glass or polymer substrate. They are used as anti-reflective films on spectacle lenses, UV and infra-red blockers, lighting filters, conductive oxides for flat screen displays and solar control coatings on windows. The design and optimization of coatings requires a basic understanding of the effects of surface and interfacial composition, defects and impurities on mechanical and optical properties. This project will shed light on these fundamental questions through a combination of first principles simulations and empirical modeling. The project is part of an EPSRC Materials Modelling Consortium involving researchers from 6 universities and 2 industrial partners. You should have a PhD and a strong research track record in theoretical physics, chemistry or a related discipline. A background in advanced scientific computing and experience of electronic structure theory is also desirable. The salary will be in the range of 22,116 to 26,652 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience. Further information can also be found on online A job description and an application form can be obtained from the website. Alternatively, please contact Professor Nicholas M Harrison,

Completed application forms should be sent to; Closing date: 5 August 2005 Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Computer Simulation of MaterialsSchool of Physical Sciences, University of Kent at Canterbury A postdoctoral position is available in the simulation-based applications group at the University of Kent. The position is funded by the European-Union INTERREG programme, and offers an outstanding opportunity to pursue internationally-leading research using atomistic computer simulation methods. The project aim is to expand a “Virtual Centre of Excellence” in this research in the S.E. England-North France European region, making outreach to academic partners and work on industrially-relevant problems priorities. Within this remit the successful candidate will have considerable freedom to pursue his/her chosen research goals. These are likely to overlap with some of the group’s interests which include nanostructured materials, interfaces, surfaces and surface processes, low-dimensional systems, transport, defects and electronic-physical structure relationships. This is a European venture involving the universities of Kent, Littoral (Dunkirk) and Picardie (Amiens), and there is ample funding for exchange visits. We have excellent local computing facilities and extensive access to a range of national supercomputers. You should have a Ph.D. and experience in computer simulation techniques in physics, materials science or theoretical chemistry. Experience with first-principles (DFT) methods is particularly welcome. Knowledge of French would be helpful, but is not essential. For more information on applying, and to make informal enquiries, contact Dr. Philip Lindan (p.lindan@kent.ac.uk). See our web site for an overview of our activities. The post is for two years, the second by mutual agreement. Salary will be in the range £19,460 - £29,128 per annum on the salary scale Research Assistant Grade 1A.
