Dear friends,
We are looking for excellent candidates for a Ph. D. student position
in computational condensed matter physics. The research project will include
the development and application of state-of-the-art condensed matter
theoretical methods, numerical methods for investigation of material structures
and their physical and electronic properties including magnetism,
thermoelectricity, ultra-hardness, novel optical properties, and
superconductivity. This research will proceed in strong collaboration with
experimental studies with research groups at Canada's national synchrotron
facility, the Canadian Light Source.
The position is open to all candidates who have a B. Sc./M. Sc. degree in
physics, chemistry or related areas, with preference given to those who have
(1) knowledge and experience with computer code development for condensed
matter material science applications, and (2) familiarity with application of
density-functional codes for calculation of condensed-matter electronic and
physical properties. The expected starting date is September 2013, but early
starting dates are also possible.
