The Physics of AmoRphous and Inorganic Solids Laboratory (PARISlab) and the Laboratory for the Chemistry of Construction (LC2) Materials at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are seeking an outstanding candidate for an open Ph.D. position starting July 1, 2015. Special emphasis is placed on recruiting talented, self-motivated candidates with a solid background in physics, condensed matter, materials science, chemical engineering or chemistry. Experience in atomistic simulations (classical or ab initio molecular dynamics, density functional theory, Monte-Carlo...) is mandatory.

The successful candidate will work on optimizing the photo-catalytic behavior of titanium dioxide nanoparticles by studying by means of atomistic simulation the effect of impurities on the band gap of TiO2, with the ultimate goal to prevent corrosion in reinforced concrete. The student will also be expected to participate in experiments/synthesis/testing activities, in collaboration with the members of the group. For consideration, applicants should possess the following qualifications or attributes: (a) M.S. degree from a reputable university in a related thematic area and an interest in pursuing a research career, (b) a fundamental understanding of inorganic chemistry, photo-catalysis and thermodynamics and (c) an interest in working in an interdisciplinary research environment.

Applicants with relevant experience will be given special preference. The successful candidate will be expected to take personal initiative to structure tasks to meet project goals, network and communicate with other partners involved in the project and author innovative publications. The candidate will also be expected to mentor undergraduate students, fulfill project deliverables and present progress on a regular basis. The position is funded for a three years period. If you meet the above requirements and are interested in this position, please provide by email (mbalonis@ucla.edu and bauchy@ucla.edu) a detailed resume, a short personal statement explaining your scientific and research interests and contact information for three referees in support of your application (as PDF files).
