University of California Merced - Post Doc and Grad Student Openings
We have openings for post docs and grad students to develop and use atomistic simulations to investigate surface and interface phenomena. Specific research focuses will depend on the applicant’s background, but may include characterization of the interactions and reactions between metallic surfaces and various industrially-relevant liquid adsorbates and exploration of the effects of coupled stresses in determining the size of the contact between nanoscale bodies. Applicants must have obtained a degree (BS/MS for PhD applicants or PhD for post doc applicants) in mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry or a related field. Please contact Dr. Ashlie Martini at amartini@ucmerced.edu for more information.

Which software?
Dear Ashlie,
Ummm... Not interested in the position as such (am happy working in India), but just curious: Which software do you use for such problems? How many atoms? Does it need clusters or supercomputing time? Does GPGPU help?
Best,

Elaborate on the job
Dear Ashlie,
I am interested in this position. I have just finished my Ph.D in the field of Computational Chemistry. Could you furher elaborate on the topic for adsorbates on the metallic surfaces ?
