Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Project Title: developing of an unbiased theoretical force-field for modelling the crystallisation.
Duration: 1 years starting from Autumn 2019.
Project Supervisor: Dr Davide Tiana
Host Institute: University College Cork
Brief Project Description: Many pharmaceutical solids exhibit polymorphism. As each polymorph can have different pharmaceutically relevant properties, it is crucial in drug-design to find the most stable polymorph in the crystal-phase at the earliest possible stage of development. In fact, the best scenario would be to isolate the most stable pharmaceutical polymorph a priori (i.e. before synthesis). Provide a tool able of doing that is the goal of this project. By developing a new force-field based on cutting-edge quantum chemical topology, the project aims to release a new computational tool for discovering the most stable polymorph of pharmaceutical compounds.
Requirements: PhD in Chemistry (or related area). At least 3 publications in peer-reviewed journals. Demonstrated experience in at least one of these field: Force Field developing; Atoms in Molecules and Interacting Quantum Atoms description of the chemical interactions; Non-covalent interaction; Structure Prediction.
