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.
2 PhD positions – Nonadiabatic molecular dynam ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Two fully-funded PhD positions are available in the group of Basile Curchod at Durham University (UK), starting ideally in October 2019. The group focuses on the development and the applications of theoretical methods – nuclear quantum dynamics and electronic structure – for understanding the excited-state dynamics of molecules following light absorption. For more information, please refer to our website: http://www.in-silico-photochem.com
The two PhD projects propose to investigate the excited-state dynamics of atmospheric molecules upon sunlight absorption and are part of the ERC Starting Grant 'SINDAM – Sunlight-Induced Nonadiabatic Dynamics of Atmospheric Molecules'. As part of these projects, the candidates will explore different strategies for nonadiabatic dynamics to foster our understanding of the photochemistry of atmospheric molecule, both in vacuo and aqueous conditions. This work will also involve close collaboration with different experimental groups, as well as a contribution to the development of novel methods for excited-state dynamics.
Candidates with a degree in chemistry or physics, a background in physical chemistry/chemical physics, and, more importantly, strong motivation and enthusiasm for scientific research are encouraged to apply. Both UK and EU candidates are eligible to apply, and applications – short cover letter (describing background and motivation) and a complete CV – will be considered upon receipt. The position will remain open until filled.
Informal enquiries should be sent to [email protected]
