A postdoctoral position is available at CEA-Grenoble, France, in the broad area of ab-initio modeling of materials for energy conversion and storage.

We are looking for a talented individual who can contribute to the theoretical search for, and understanding of, novel materials. The successful candidate will develop algorithms for the fast computation of phonon properties in solid compounds, and apply them to the calculation of phase stability and transport properties. She/he will integrate a materials modelling team comprising six other scientists, with strong connections to experimental and theoretical groups worldwide.
