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.
POSTDOC POSITION IN MONTPELLIER. Photochemistry ... (No replies)

Title: POSTDOC POSITION IN MONTPELLIER. Photochemistry on Quantum Computers.
Announce:
A postdoc position is available for 18 months starting January 2022 at the Charles Gerhardt Institute of Montpellier (France), in the new departement "Chimie Physique Théorique et Modélisation" (before called "Chimie Théorique, Méthodologies, Modélisations"). The project (acronym QACTUS: Quantum Algorithms for Chemistry, Towards a Unified Strategy) is founded by the I-SITE MUSE of Montpellier and is supervised by Bruno Senjean and Benjamin Lasorne (CNRS researchers), with the external collaboration of Saad Yalouz.
This project is devoted to the implementation of theoretical photochemistry on quantum computers.
The candidate is expected to develop new quantum algorithms to answer problems that are beyond reach of classical computers and require an accurate description of excited states and their nonadiabatic couplings with nuclear motions around avoided crossings and conical intersections. Simulations of small chemical models will be performed first on classical computers, then followed by the implementation on the latest IBM quantum devices thanks to the partnership between IBM Quantum and the University of Montpellier (project QuantUM).
Programing (python) and method development skills are required, as well as knowledge in either Quantum Computing or Theoretical (Photo)chemistry / Molecular Physics.
Applications should be sent to Bruno Senjean ([email protected]) including:
- a Complete Scientific CV (with list of publications)
- 1 or 2 reference letters
DEADLINE for submitting an application is november 1st 2021.
Bruno Senjean and Benjamin Lasorne.
