The Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is looking for a PhD student to participate in a 4-year project on “Computer Aided Design of Templated Assembling, Replication and Synthesis on Ionic Substrates“ under the supervision of Prokop Hapala. The project aims to computationally develop an universal molecular architecture inspired by DNA-origami for assembling molecular components into larger functional systems (e.g. computer circuits) on ionic substrates. A key part of the project is the development of a novel QM/MM simulation package integrating DFT/DFTB methods with classical force fields to streamline molecular design in anhydrous environment.
Profile 1 – Molecular simulations using classical force-fields
Profile 2 – Development of simulation software

How to apply
Send your application material (CV and motivation letter) before February 12, 2023 to [email protected]. Applications will be processed as soon as they are received. You can contact Prokop Hapala ([email protected]) to discuss scientific details of the research project, and Lucie Beránková ([email protected]) for general employment information. Expected starting date: Not later than summer 2023.
The selected candidate will apply for doctoral program at UCT prague, or at Charles University.
