Opportunities at CTCMS
The NIST Center for Theoretical and Computational Materials
Science is continuously soliciting proposals for
- Workshops on materials theory and modeling.
- Short-term and long-term visiting fellowships.
- Guest researcher and NRC postdoctoral positions.
- Creative and ambitious new projects in materials theory and modeling.
CTCMS Resident Scholar Program
The Center for Theoretical and Computational Materials Science at the National
Institute for Standards and Technology is seeking candidates for the CTCMS
Resident Scholar program. This program provides funding for scientists at all
levels to spend time at the Center, where they may take advantage of the
variety of resources both within the Center and at NIST. Researchers with
interest in computational and theoretical materials science are encouraged to
apply. The CTCMS investigates industrially relevant problems in materials
theory and modeling with novel computational approaches, creates novel
opportunities for collaboration, and develops powerful new tools for
materials theory and modeling and accelerates their integration into industrial
research.
To apply, please submit the following:
- Curriculum Vitae
- Two supporting letters (for graduate students and post-doctoral researchers only.)
- Desired stay
- Outline of proposed research, including goals and anticipated outcome.
- PROPOSALS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3 PAGES.
Proposals will be judged competitively, on a first-come, first-served basis.
Typical terms in residence are from several weeks to several months. The CTCMS
will provide travel and living expenses. If participation in this program is
coincident with sabbatical leave, please indicate amount needed.

Workshops
The Center for Theoretical and Computational Materials Science at the
National Institute for Standards and Technology is soliciting
proposals for workshops in theoretical and computational materials
science. Typical awards will range from $2K -- $20K; additional funds
may be requested in certain cases. To apply, please submit the
following:
- Brief description of workshop purpose and format.
- Potential list of invitees.
- Goals and anticipated outcome.
- Detailed budget request.
- Tentative workshop dates.
Workshops should focus on methods and/or problems in any areas of theoretical
and/or computational materials research and should include industrial
participation.
Previous CTCMS workshops have led in many cases to the establishment of
multi-institutional research teams which have received subsequent CTCMS
funding.

Postdoctoral Positions at the CTCMS: The CTCMS is
currently seeking applicants for foreign postdoctoral guest researcher
positions, and for the NRC Postdoctoral Program. Applicants with
strong theoretical and/or computational backgrounds in phase boundary
motion, grain growth, dislocations, liquids, and microstructure
evolution and characterization are especially encouraged to apply.
Deadline for submission of proposals to the NRC is near January 15,
each year. If you are interested in a position with the CTCMS, please
contact james.warren@nist.gov asap.
The NIST CTCMS is an equal opportunity employer.
