[CPMD-list] Lecturer Position in Condensed Matter Physics (Maitre de Conferences-MCF)

[Simona ISPAS]

Lecturer in Condensed Matter Physics (Maitre de Conferences-MCF), Univ.
Montpellier 2, France
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The University Montpellier 2 is susceptible to opening a permanent 
position for a lecturer in Condensed Matter Physics (Maitre de 
Conferences (MCF) in the 28th section of the CNU "Milieu denses et 
continus") with the profile along the lines given below.
The final decision on the post will be given by the Ministry of
Education. Starting date would be September 2005. The successful
candidate will teach in the Physics Department and will work in the
theory group of the Laboratoire des Verres (LdV).

Scientific profile:
For the MdC position the candidate should possess a PhD  in Condensed
Matter Physics or Theoretical Chemistry. Postdoctoral experience are
highly appreciated. The theory group of the LdV studies the structure
and dynamics of disordered systems such as oxide and polymer glasses,
spin glasses, as well as simple models for disordered materials. Most of
these investigations are done by means of computer simulations (ab
initio, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo). Therefore the candidate is
expected to have a strong background in ab initio Molecular Dynamics
calculations, and to know, or to be willing to learn,
first-principles methods reproducing  experimental spectra (Raman,
Infra-Red, NMR, etc..).
He/she will collaborate with experimental groups from the LdV who are
developping new  experimental techniques for the study of the structure
and dynamics of glasses.  He/she is expected to work also  on the
properties of hybrid materials studied at LdV, as well as on
nanostructured materials developped by the Groupe de Dynamique des
Phases Condensées (GDPC).

Teaching profile:
It is essential for the candidate to be sufficiently proficient in the
French language to be able to teach in French. Furthermore it would be a
considerable advantage for the candidate to have already had a teaching
experience in physics. The teaching will be in the domain of numerical
techniques in physics.


-> IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to be eligible for this position, it is
necessary to have the "qualification" accorded by the national CNU
commission.This administrative  procedure has to be initiated by
deposing a "lettre d'intention" BEFORE OCTOBER 19, 2004, 5 pm Paris 
time.More information on this can be found on
http://www.education.gouv.fr/personnel/enseignant_superieur/enseignant_chercheur/antares.htm 


and click on the "ANTARES" link.
- Check particularly on the limiting dates for obtaining the thesis.
- A "qualification" already obtained in any commission of the CNU over
the previous three years is still valid.
