POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN PHYSICS 




Applications are invited for a PPARC funded Postdoctoral Research
Fellowship in the Department of Physics at the University of Wales
Swansea in the area of computational physics, specifically to work on
the APEmille supercomputer to be installed later this year. The
position is initially for a period of two years and the proposed
starting date is 1st October 2000 (although an earlier starting date is
negotiable).

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in theoretical/computational
physics, have experience in Lattice Gauge Theory, and be familiar with
APE computer technology, although candidates not fulfilling all of
these requirements are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate
will design and run computer code on the APEmille system in simulations
of fundamental particle physics, particularly in studies of non-zero
temperature QCD.

The Swansea Lattice Group is a part of the UKQCD Collaboration and 
currently consists of two staff members, Drs. Simon Hands and Chris
Allton, two postdoctoral research fellows and two PhD students. The
Theoretical Physics Group as a whole comprises eight staff members and
six postdocs.

Please send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae and the names
and contact details of three referees to Chris Allton, Department of
Physics, University of Wales Swansea, Swansea SA2 8PP, U.K.
