long time scales

I am looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to study, via the development of new computational methodologies, the deformation mechanisms in crystalline nanostructures.  The specific emphasis is on predicting the plasticity at timescales that far exceed those possible in classical atomistic simulations, and verifying the predictions through collaborations with experimentalists.  The position is available as soon as possible for at least a 1.5-year duration, with possible extension to future years depending on the availability of fundin
