Dear Everyone,

 

A postdoc position is opened in our lab in theoretical calculations.

 

Here, a brief summary of the subject. For more informations, send me an email.

 

Best regards,

 

Frédéric

 

=================================================================================

 

Ab initio studies of the alteration processes in glasses for nuclear confinement
=================================================================================

 

A postdoctoral position for 1 year (with the possibility of renewal for one
more year)) is opened in the Laboratoire du Comportement a Long Terme (LCLT) of CEA (Commissari
at a l'Energie Atomique -France) in collaboration with the Modelisation Group of
 the Laboratoire des Colloides, Verres et Nanomateriaux (LCVN-Univ. Montpellier 2, France).
The research will cover the study of hydrolysis mechanisms within in the bulk as
well as the gel formation  at the surfaces of nuclear waste confinement glasses.

 

The focus of the study will be the microscopic description of the solvation proc
ess by a combination of Ab initio and classical Molecular Dynamics simulations.
The theoretical results hence obtained will be compared to experimental data
in this field, already available (as WASX, EXAFS, chemical-physical data)
or as IR, Raman and Hyper-Raman scattering data.

 

Candidates must have a PhD in computational condensed matter physics
or theoretical chemistry, and experience in Molecular Dynamics calculations.
They should have a previous postdoctoral experience (no more than 2 years) OR
they should defend their PhD before December 31 st, 2006. 

 

This study will by carried out at LCTL (CEA Marcoule), and regular meetings and stays
will be organized at LCVN (Montpellier)

 

Applications, including
- a detailed curriculum vitae (indicating date of birth, nationality, family status, dependents)-
- list of publications
- the address of at least two academic references that can be contacted confidentially
- statement of research,
should be sent to:
