Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Monte Carlo Electronic Structure Theory
College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, VA

Description:
A postdoctoral position in theoretical/computational physics/chemistry 
is available to further develop and apply a new auxiliary field quantum 
Monte Carlo method to a variety of molecular and extended systems on 
petascale supercomputers. The candidate will work jointly with Professors 
Henry Krakauer and Shiwei Zhang (Department of Physics, College of William 
& Mary). The position is available immediately and offers a competitive 
salary plus benefits. Initial appointment will be for a period of one 
year, with the possibility of extensions for additional years.

Requirements:
Applicants should have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, or related discipline 
and a strong background in the development and application of ab initio 
electronic structure methods. Experience with major quantum chemistry or 
plane wave computational packages is desirable, as is exposure to 
high-performance computing and quantum Monte Carlo.

Application:
Please send CV and contact information for three references, via email and
PDF attachments, to Henry Krakauer - krakauer * wm.edu. Consideration of 
candidates will begin immediately and will continue until the position is 
filled. 

The College of William & Mary is an EEO/AA Employer.
