POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
                          Research Group TSM
                        Department of Physics
                     University of Antwerpen (RUCA)

 Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position with the group (TSM)
 of P.E. Van Camp and V.E. Van Doren to do research on density functional
 theory in polymers and bio-polymers.
 The appointment is expected to start on January 1, 1997 and is for a
 period of two years. The monthly salary is about 60000 BEF.
 The topics of part of the theoretical research of the TSM-group for this
 position are :
 1. Research on improving the exchange-correlation potential in
    density functional theory. Implementation of the optimized effective
    potential model (OPM) and of the Moeller-Plesset many-body perturbation
    theory with Kohn-Sham orbitals in the case of polymers.
 2. Calculation of the total ground state energy of several polymer and
    bio-polymer systems within the local density approximation (LDA) and
    beyond in order to predict structural, electronic and optical
    properties.
 Candidates should have an excellent knowledge of computer programming.
 The TSM-group has currently collaborations with :
 1. Dr.J.W. Mintmire, NRL, Washington DC, USA.
 2. Prof.J.M. Martins, INESC, Lisbon, Portugal.
 3. Prof.J. Ladik, University of Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany.
 4. Dr.G. Straub, Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory,
    Los Alamos, NM, USA.
 Candidates should send an application to :
