Student Research Opportunities

One or two postdoc and/or visiting positions and one graduate student position are available with the Computational Materials Theory Center at California State University Northridge, starting immedaitely. The position is available for one year and may be extended for up to two years subject to availablility of funding. Our main activities are centered on the application and development of electronic structure methods. Specific projects concern electronic structure calculations for the determination of mechanical properties, magnetism in rare-earth and actindes, surface magnetism and magnetooptics and surface catalysis. Quantum Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations as applied to these and other systems are also of interest. The candidate should have experience with density functional electronic structure calculations and/or quantum molecular dynamics calculations. The Computational Materials Theroy Center consists of three faculty, four postdoctoral fellows, one visiting fellow, and several graduate students. Interested persons should send their resumes and the names of references preferably, via e-mail, as soon as possible to:
