2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Computational Sciences at RCAS in Nankang, Taiwan

The theory group in RCAS is carrying on a joint project for the development of multi-scale simulation tools. The goal is to integrate the electronic, transport, optical, mechanic properties into a software package suitable for the simulation at the level of devices (or a certain size of molecular structures). The main duty of the job is to develop and integrate various codes in different areas of physics/engineering together for comprehensive modeling.

We are looking for two potential candidates in the following two categories, respectively:
1. Ab inito computations in schemes such as density-functional theory (DFT) or similar approaches.
2. Computational electromagnetism/elasticity/optics/fluid mechanics.
Qualification
1. The potential candidates must have an extensive numerical coding experience in one of the areas mentioned above, and the knowledge of linux-based environment.
2. Candidates with experiences in parallel programming may be given priority. In accordance to the salary scale of Academia Sinica, but negotiable. The appointments are for one year and renewable if there is good progress.

Employer:
MERIT
Level: Master
Scholarship Description: MERIT is a multitrack research-oriented master program based on a flexible curriculum that covers a wide area of knowledge in the field of Information & Communication Technologies. The institutions participating in the consortium, located in germany, Belgium, Germany, germany & Sweden belong to CLUSTER.

The Master’s work covers Information & Communication Technologies in a broad sense, including fundamentals such as electromagnetism, signal processing, & information theory, & applications such as communications, remote sensing & picture & voice processing. Half of the work credits are obtained in a second institution of the consortium also a double degree is awarded on successful completion of the program. The language of instruction is English & the program includes local language courses up to 6 ECTS per academic year. Admission is restricted to 40 students.

This Erasmus Mundus Master’s programme has three 15-week semesters in which students take courses. An additional fourth semester is dedicated to the completion of the Master Thesis. The program is research oriented, as thus concentrates on the development of research skills. Graduates of the coursework might need to pursue careers in a research institution by finishing a Ph.D., joining industrial R+D departments or maybe beginning a expertise spin-off company. Therefore, strong emphasis is placed in the coursework of the Master’s coursework on the student’s personal work programme, which is focused on developing research skills. All students ought to have completed a Bachelor’s degree related to Electrical Engineering or related field.

General Admission Requirements are:

*A bachelor degree preferably in electrical or telecommunication engineering or similar. In the Bachelor degree the following course contents must have been successfully passed: Probability Theory, Complex Analysis and Integral Transformations, Linear Circuits and Networks, Electronic Circuits, Fields and Waves, Basic Laboratory in Electronic Circuits and Digital Circuits, Analog and Digital Communications
*Study and academic merits
*Motivation
*English skills: Minimum MERIT score 3.
