Research Fellow (Full-time) in Advanced Electronic Transport Theory
\nDepartment\/Faculty: Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (CRANN) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
\nLocation: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia
\nReports to: Professor Stefano Sanvito at CRANN or Professor Udo Schwingenschl\u00f6gl at KAUST.
\nClosing date: 30th November 2010
\nSalary: KAUST Salary – 50,000 US Dollars per annum plus accommodation and health care package

\nA Postdoctoral research position is available immediately at the Center for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices (Trinity College Dublin IRELAND) (www.crann.tcd.ie<\/a>) and at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (www.kaust.edu.sa<\/a>). The position will be respectively in the \u201cComputational Spintronics Group\u201d (www.spincomp.eu<\/a>) headed by Prof. Stefano Sanvito at CRANN and in the \u201celectronic structure theory\u201d group (www.kaust.edu.sa\/academics\/faculty\/schwingenshologl.html<\/a>) headed by Prof. Udo Schwingenschl\u00f6gl at KAUST.<\/p>\n

The successful candidate will participate in the development of density functional theory based quantum transport algorithms. In particular, we aim to tackle problems related to large-scale simulations and many body effects and at investigating how the electrostatic environment affects the transport properties of nanodevices in wet conditions. The projects will have a code development component and will involve simulations of devices with potential technological applications.<\/p>\n

Large computational infrastructure will be available to the project both in Ireland (www.tchpc.tcd.ie<\/a> and www.ichec.ie<\/a>) and at KAUST. In particular the use of the KAUST Shaheen supercomputer (http:\/\/www.kaust.edu.sa\/research\/labs\/supercomputing.html<\/a>) is planned.<\/p>\n
