The position is available immediately and will start as soon as a suitable candidate will be available, preferably before summer 2007. The appointment can be for up to three years.


Candidates should have a Master or Diploma degree in Physics, excellent academic grades and good practice in numerical methods especially in Fortran 90 or C++.


Ideal candidates should have good knowledges in methods for strongly-correlated systems, or, at least, an interest in learning and working with these methods.

Numerical Renormalization-group and/or cluster methods will be used in the project. Please, point out knowledges in this fields, if available.

Informal applications with a CV including the names and (e-mail) addresses of potential referees and university grades should be sent by e-mail to

Prof. Enrico Arrigoni (arrigoni@itp.tu-graz.ac.at)
