This research position is for studying the surface electronic and chemical nature and oxygen reduction mechanisms on dense thin-film electrodes, made of mixed conducting perovskite-type oxides, for solid oxide electrochemical devices for electricity generation, namely solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The primary goal is to understand and tailor the electronic behavior of electrode surfaces, including inhomogenities such as grain boundaries, using advanced surface science tools. This topic will have implications on the nanostructure development for infiltrated electrodes. Additional information is available at http://web.mit.edu/yildizgroup/
Characterization and analysis approach will include the coupling of the electrochemical and high-resolution spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. For the primary aspect of the research at MIT, particularly important is the use of scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, and other scanning probe and UHV techniques. The goal is to extend and implement these tools under the laboratory controlled conditions of temperature, pressure, and potential representative of the in situ conditions of SOFC oxygen electrodes. The second aspect of the position will involve close collaboration with external researchers from university and national laboratory partners for the characterization of model electrode surfaces using soft- and hard-x-ray techniques.
Responsibilities include carrying out excellent independent research, writing publications, presentations and reports, working with graduate students in the group, and interacting with sponsors. Highly motivated candidates with a PhD and strong background in materials science, physics, chemistry, or a related field are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

Italy: Postdoctoral Position in Economics and Finance, University of Venice
Postdoc project “Hedge funds: tail event behaviour and absolute alphas”ICEF - International Center of Economics and FinanceDepartment of EconomicsUniversity of Venice (Italy)
The ICEF (http://www.dse.unive.it/en/centers-partners/icef/) conducts international research in the fields of Finance, Economics and Financial Econometrics. It also provides academic courses in these areas and organize the International Master in Economics and Finance.The ICEF currently has the following vacancy: Postdoctoral fellow, full time for 24 months, for the project ‘Hedge funds: tail event behaviour and absolute alphas’.
Recent literature evaluating hedge funds performance asserts that there seems to be a talent in the hedge fund industry. One of the main problems in the research on the hedge funds extra-performance is the need to take into account the well known non-normality on returns and the non linear dependence from standard asset benchmarks due to the use of derivatives and dynamic trading strategies. How this affects the performance measurement is one of the central issues in this project. The focus is on the integration of dynamic models for risk measurement and hedge funds replication strategies. This project will allow a junior researcher to develop studies on a new area of finance: the alternative investments and specifically the hedge fund industry.
This is a project co-financed by the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice (www.unive.it) and GRETA (Venice, http://www.greta.it/en/index.htm).
