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.

Scholarship for postdoctoral training at the Department of Science and Technology
At the Department of Science and Technology (Linköping University, Sweden) a scholarship has been established for foreign citizens with a PhD or equivalent acquired in another country than Sweden. Such a scholarship is now announced in the field of “Chemical Theory and Spectroscopy” entitled “Rational design of Molecular Probes with Single-Luminophore Dual Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence for Enhancing Time-Resolved Imaging Information”. Supervisor is Dr. Glib Baryshnikov ([email protected]), Laboratory of Organic Electronics.
Description of the project
Time-resolved (TR) fluorescence imaging based on the probes possessing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) has been emerging. However, most of the developed TADF probes produce one emission signal only. This project aims to achieve a series of single-luminophore dual TADF molecules employing computational design of donor-acceptor-donor1 triads. This involves accurate determination of electronic states energy and subsequent estimation of rate constants for radiative and non-radiative transitions within four-state manifold (S1, T1, S2, T2). Together with common DFT and TDDFT methods, the advanced ab initio methods should be used for excited states calculations. The subsequent photophysical calculations of rate constants for radiative and nonradiative electronic transitions between states of the same multiplicity (fluorescence and internal conversion) and various multiplicity (phosphorescence and intersystem crossing) are required. Successful candidate should have basic knowledge in UV-Vis absorption/fluorescence spectroscopy and in quantum chemistry. The experience in working with most popular software for quantum-chemical computations like GAUSSIAN, TURBOMOLE, DALTON, GAMESS-US, VASP etc. is strongly recommended. The candidates experienced in MOMAP software are prioritized.
Applications
The following documents must be submitted when applying for the scholarship:
