Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Kirill Belashchenko at University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). The research will involve computational studies of magnetic materials and nanostructures within the priorities of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center and the Center for NanoFerroic Devices at UNL. The initial appointment will be for one year. Extension of this appointment may be possible upon satisfactory performance, mutual agreement, and availability of funding. Candidates must hold a PhD degree in physics or a closely related subject and have working knowledge and experience in the theory and practice of first-principles calculations. Desirable qualifications include excellent background in solid state physics, ability to communicate with collaborators including experimentalists, as well as strong personal motivation and creativity. Interested candidates should submit an application letter and a CV including a list of publications, as well as contact information for at least three references, by email (belashchenkounl.edu) in PDF format. The application should briefly describe the relevant experience and contributions to research.
