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.

Dear colleagues,
I would be grateful for your help drawing the attention of suitable candidates to an open two-year postdoctoral position in my group at the Department of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.
Topic: Development and application of theoretical tools for simulating photoinduced processes in complex molecular systems.
Application deadline: June 23, 2022

Description
Photoinduced electron, proton and energy transport in molecules and materials is the functional core of many biological and engineered processes such as light-harvesting, photosynthesis, charge-separation in photovoltaic devices and photomechanical switching. The fate of the photoinduced nonequilibrium state – and hence the emergence of photoinduced function – arises from an intricate interplay between electronic, nuclear and environmental degrees of freedom.
In this project, you will develop and apply nonadiabatic dynamics methods for investigating photoinduced molecular processes in condensed phases as well as new tools for their visualization and analysis. Problems of interest could be unraveling the complex interactions between chromophores and their protein scaffolds that lead to conversion of light energy into large scale atomic motion, governing the photoactive protein function. Or it could be understanding the effect of nonequilibrium solvent response on excited-state processes in solution. These problems are important both from a basic science perspective and for designing new materials and molecular devices.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards,
Nanna H. List
