For the  Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network "PhotoCaM: Photosynthetic Antennas in a Computational Microscope" we have 10 open PhD positions in different aspects of computational/theoretical chemistry/physics with an intended starting date of January 2024.

 

If you have a student that could be interested and suited to join one of our groups, please share this information with them!

 

Photosynthesis relies on harvesting the sun light and on transforming the solar energy into chemical energy to sustain almost all life on earth. An enhanced molecular-level understanding of photosynthesis and particularly of the light-harvesting process is of key significance.

In this Doctoral Network we aim at training a new generation of computational scientists which can treat complex and interdisciplinary problems such as light harvesting on a molecular level using theoretical and computational tools. The interdisciplinary nature of the problem requires a combined knowledge from biology, chemistry, physics and computer science in order to combine state-of-the-art approaches like molecular dynamics simulations, quantum chemistry, theoretical spectroscopy and machine learning into multi-scale schemes.

This joint undertaking is a unique chance in research but especially also in training young scientists in interdisciplinary teamwork, method training and high-performance computing in academic as well as non-academic settings.
