[Victorio Sonzogni]

Post-Doctoral Opportunities on Molecular Modeling
Strachan Group
School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University


We are seeking to hire an outstanding candidate for a post-doctoral position 
in the Strachan group at Purdue University to work on ab initio predictions of 
optical properties of thin oxides. The project focuses on the characterization 
of the atomic and electronic structure of oxides coating and their surface as 
well as the processes that govern their emissivity. The successful candidate 
will work in the Strachan group and will have the opportunity to interact with 
a wide range of experimentalists and theoreticians in academia, industry and 
national labs.

Qualifications. 

Candidates should have earned a doctorate in Materials Science and 
Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or in a related field. The successful candidate 
will have a strong background in ab initio calculations and molecular modeling 
of materials.  Expertise in the calculation of optical properties and 
programming is highly desirable.

Application process. 

Applicants must provide a detailed resume including education, experience and 
qualifications; they should also include the names of three potential 
references.  Applications from women and minorities are strongly encouraged. 
Applicants should submit the application materials electronically to: 
Prof. Alejandro Strachan, School of Materials Engineering, 
Email: strachan en purdue.edu. 
Evaluation of candidates will begin immediately, and will continue until the 
position is filled.
