The young investigator group for theoretical chemistry of Dr. Annika Bande at the Helmholtz Center Berlin for Materials and Energy is looking for a PhD candidate with a Master (Diploma) in Chemistry or Physcs for the project “Electron Dynamics of Ultrafast Energy Transfer Processes in Neutral Quantum Dots".

The method and code development project aims at solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for electrons and holes in neutral quantum dots to conduct and analyse quantum dynamics calculations on the interatomic Coulombic decay process [ICD, e. g.: J. Comput. Chem. (2016), DOI: 10.1002/jcc.24410] with view on the improvement of modern quantum dot solar cells.

The successful candidate has theoretical and practical knowledge on wavefunction-based quantum chemistry/mechanics. Programming skills and an interest in materials sciences and quantum dynamics are beneficial.

For details on the position please contact Dr. Annika Bande: [email protected]. Formal applications can be made until Oct. 30, 2016 via the HZB link.  

Best regards,

Annika
