英国伦敦国王学院招聘物理学方向博士后

The Department of Physics is looking to appoint a post-doctoral associate fellow for 11 months to work on simulations of kinetics of growth of self-assembled monolayers of organic molecules on crystal surfaces. The post is based in the Theory and Simulations of Condensed Matter Group in the Department of Physics to work on understanding of driving mechanisms responsible for organisation of a number of organic molecules of different complexity on several crystal surfaces. The idea is to simulate, using a toolbox of methods based on density functional theory (DFT) and “rare events” simulations, nucleation and kinetics of growth of self-assembled structures in order to provide the necessary guidance to experimentalists in forming desired assemblies.

This work is going to be conducted in close collaboration with two experimental groups (STM group in Liverpool and a group specialising in chemical synthesis in Nottingham). Applicants should have a PhD in solid-state physics or related areas, with significant experience in DFT modelling of surface processes. The closing date for receipt of applications is 31/12/2014. Equality of opportunity is College policy.
