The Computational Materials Research Group in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville currently has multiple post-doctoral research positions available. The positions involve conducting multiscale modeling of (i) polymer electrolyte membranes and (ii) smart nanoporous materials used for explosive sensing. The post-doc will have the opprotunity to work in the dynamic research environment of the UT Computational Materials Research Group (http://clausius.engr.utk.edu/cmrg) and to collaborate with an interdisciplinary teams of researchers including faculty at UT (including Prof. Stephen Paddison) and staff scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. It is expected that the researcher will have completed a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Theoretical Chemistry or Physics. A record of accomplishment is expected as demonstrated through several peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals involving computations and simulations of materials. Fluency in FORTRAN 90 or C/C++ is necessary. The start date is flexible but can begin as early as July 1, 2008. The salary is approximately $40,000 per year. Interested individuals should send a CV, a list of publications and references to Prof. David Keffer at dkeffer@utk.edu.
