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.

A 3-year Postdoctoral fellowship is available at the Hylleraas centre for Quantum Molecular Science at UiT, The Arctic University of Tromsø.

The position's field of research

The research group develops a novel quantum chemistry code called MRChem which makes use of Multiwavelets to describe orbitals and densities, yielding Complete Basis Set (CBS) results for energy and molecular properties.

The successful candidate will be integrated into the group and will contribute to the development and implementation of various methods and tools in MRChem. Several improvements within the framework of Density Functional Theory can be envisaged, giving ample opportunity for creative scientific work and personal growth. Among them are a fast DFT solver for large systems, the interface for range-separation and meta-GGA functionals, the interface for property calculations at arbitrary perturbation order, the development of relativistic methods, methods to treat time propagation.

You can submit a vision statement for how they will strengthen research activities at the department/in the research group/research project, max 2 pages.

You can submit a description of your past research project(s) and its relevance to the advertised position, max 3 pages.

The research environment

The MRChem group currently consists of the Principal Investigator, two adjunct professors, two part-time researchers, one postdoc and three PhD students. The MRChem group holds a prestigious FRIPRO grant for the development of relativistic methods using multiwavelets, and it is well integrated in the Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Science, which hosts more than 60 scientists at all levels and is shared between Tromsø and Oslo. Thanks to the recent FRIPRO funding, and to the Hylleraas Centre, the MRChem group is an exciting place to work offering ample opportunity for a scientist to grow, establish new collaborations and tackle challenging scientific problems.
