Dear Aziz,

        As you may know, the Condensed Matter group at LSU has recently
doubled in size. We are now fifteen faculty working on a wide variety of
problems in condensed matter physics. We have a large number of openings
of both graduate and postdoctoral positions in theoretical/computational
condensed matter physics. Some positions are funded by a large EPSCoR
grant to establish a state-wide graduate research and education program
in computational materials. We wonder if you know suitable candidates
interested and qualified for research in the field of Theoretical/Computational
Studies of Correlated Electronic Systems. We include a complete description
of the positions at the end of this message. We would appreciate if you could
forward this information to potential candidates.

          Best regards,
                          Mark Jarrell and Juana Moreno



***********************************************************************************
Postdoctoral Positions in Theoretical/Computational Condensed Matter Physics at LSU
***********************************************************************************

Two or more postdoctoral positions at Louisiana State University in Theoretical/Computational Studies of Correlated Electronic and Magnetic Systems sponsored by the NSF. Applicants should have a PhD in Physics or a related field. Candidates for the theoretical positions should have knowledge of many body techniques as applied to electronic or magnetic systems. Candidates for the computational positions should have a background with a strong emphasis in high performance computing, and an interest in the development and application of new computational methods for correlated electronic many body systems. We will begin evaluating applications immediately. We expect the postdoctoral positions to be filled no later than January 1, 2014.

Some of the open positions are funded by a large NSF grant to establish a state-wide graduate research and education program in computational materials. Candidates may also be able to participate in an international research program working with US, German and Swiss faculty. The LSU condensed matter group has grown significantly recently with seven new hires and now totals fifteen faculty. More information may be found at http://www.phys.lsu.edu/newwebsite/research/condensed.html and http://institute.loni.org/lasigma.

Remuneration:  The annual salary is $54,000 year.  The position comes with a benefits package described in http://uiswcmsweb.prod.lsu.edu/hrm/Employees/Benefits/item57271.html.

Application:  To apply for this position, please email your CV, statement of research interests and arrange to have three letters of reference to Carol Duran at cduran@lsu.edu. LSU is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access employer. Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.

Ph.D. Assistantships in Computational Condensed Matter Physics at LSU
*********************************************************************
Computation is a rapidly emerging third method of scientific inquiry recognized by nearly all scientific societies as coequal with experiment and theory.  Our group employs many-body theoretical methods together with the world's most powerful supercomputers to study quantum many body systems including strongly correlated electronic systems exhibiting competing phases and quantum criticality, cold atoms in atomic traps, spintronic materials, and organic magnets. The complex emergent phenomena and competing phases exhibited by these systems will lead to materials with important new functionalities.  However, this complexity also makes the study of these systems resistant to conventional theoretical methods.

We are seeking several excellent candidates seeking a PhD in theoretical/computational condensed matter physics. The LSU condensed matter group has grown significantly recently with seven new hires and now totals fifteen faculty. Students will become part of a statewide NSF sponsored graduate research and education program. Specialized research-level courses will be offered, and students will work in virtual teams of computational, theoretical and experimental scientists with members at universities throughout the state of Louisiana.  Candidates may also be able to participate in an international research program working with US, German and Swiss faculty. More information may be found at http://www.phys.lsu.edu/newwebsite/research/condensed.html and http://institute.loni.org/lasigma.

Position:  The stipend is $25,000 per year (additional supplements are available for women and minorities).

Requirements:
Applicants should have a B.S., (a Diploma is preferred) in Physics, Applied Math, Computer Science or a related field. We will begin evaluating applications immediately.

Application:
Applications must be completed before January 15, 2014 in order to be considered for admission in the fall term.  Applications should include a short outline of research interests and experience and a complete CV by email. Other application requirements (GRE, TOEFL, IELTS) are listed on http://www.phys.lsu.edu/newwebsite/graduate/instructions-advice.html and should be submitted to either the Department of Physics & Astronomy or the Graduate School. Please contact Prof. Mark Jarrell (mjarrell@lsu.edu) for inquiries about research.  All other inquiries should be sent to Carol Duran at cduran@lsu.edu. LSU is an Equal Opportunity/Equal Access employer.  Women and minority candidates are encouraged to apply.
