In this project, you will use first principles electronic structure theory to model the vibronic properties of bacteriochlorophyll pigments. The goal is to better understand charge transfer excitations in photosynthetic reaction centers.

We offer a one-year position in a stimulating research environment in a young research group, financial support for conferences and travelling, and mentoring, advise and time for your career development.

Please apply if you have PhD in Physics, Theoretical Chemistry or a related field, a strong background in electronic structure theory (TDDFT, GW+BSE,...) and ample experience with molecular simulations. Experience with and interest in coding is necessary.

Send your CV, a short motivation and one letter of recommendation to Dr. Linn Leppert ([email protected]) until August 15 2020. Only complete applications will be considered!
