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 Polariton Photo-physics and ... (No replies)

Prof. Pengfei Frank Huo
Department of Chemistry & Institute of Optics
University of Rochester
Rochester, NY
The Huo Group (https://huogroup.github.io) at the University of Rochester is looking for a Postdoctoral Scholar of Quantum Dynamics and Polariton Photophysics. The postdoc will develop new theoretical tools to perform polariton quantum dynamics simulations, where molecules interact with the quantized radiation field inside an optical cavity and generate new quasi-particle, so-called polariton. The focus of this project will be investigating polariton photo-physics and polariton population and coherence dynamics, involving active collaborations with the world-class experimentalists at Rochester. A recent paper related to this topic (Molecular Polaritons Generated from Strong Coupling between CdSe Nanoplatelets and a Dielectric Optical Cavity) can be found at: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.jpclett.1c01104.

The project involves both cavity quantum electrodynamics theory development and molecular quantum dynamics simulations, so a potential postdoc working on quantum dynamics or with a quantum optics background would be ideal. The postdoc position is available starting in September. The initial appointment will be for 12 months at a yearly salary of $48,750.00, plus benefits.
