One Post-Doc Position is available in the group of Inorganic Theoretical Chemistry of Prof. Nazzareno Re at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy (http://www.thch.unich.it), with expected starting date 1^st September 2016 or soon thereafter, for initial 1 year + up to 1 year extension and net salary between 18000-20000 Euros.

The project, in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bari (Italy), is an ambitious program to link macroscopic properties of hydrogen storage materials with detailed atomistic simulations, for a large set of proposed materials. The accuracy of the interactions among atoms will be a computationally demanding task, allowing for a detailed description of the system at small scales.

Within this program, the specific research project of the PostDoc candidate will aim at developing model potentials for the storage of atomic and molecular hydrogen in a variety of materials, to be used for subsequent simulations.

A PhD degree in Chemistry, Physics or related areas is required together with documented experience in ab-initio modeling at post-HF and/or DFT level of molecular and/or periodic systems.
