Dear Colleagues,

Please forgive the intrusion, but I would be grateful if you could
please pass this on to anyone who might be interested:

I am starting an interdisciplinary (Chemistry and Physics) theoretical
research group at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam (http://www.chem.vu.nl
).
There is an opening for a PhD thesis on the subject "Density
Functional Theory for strongly interacting electrons". Basically, the
thesis will contribute to develop the approach described in Phys. Rev.
Lett., 103, 166402 (2009) [see also
http://physics.aps.org/synopsis-for/10.1103/PhysRevLett.103.166402
], and will focus on applications of the method mainly to low-
dimensional electronic systems.
The candidate shall have a Master degree (or equivalent) in Physics or
Chemistry, a strong mathematical background and good computational
skills. Students with a Master (or equivalent) in applied Mathematics
can also apply.
The thesis work should start in the first semester of 2010. A standard
PhD thesis in the Netherlands lasts 4 years, but extension of one year
is possible, if needed.
A formal job search will be started shortly, but applications
including a CV and the name and contact information of (at least) one
person for recommendation can already be sent to pgorigi at few.vu.nl.

Best Regards

                                                       Paola Gori-Giorgi
