Postdoc positions are available in the theoretical chemistry group of Prof. Pengfei Huo at University of Rochester, Rochester, NY.

Candidates with strong background and experiences in quantum dynamical methods (non-adiabatic dynamics, path-integral dynamics) or electronic structure methods (DFT, TDDFT, excited state methods and correlated wave function theory), as well as programming experience are encouraged to apply.

Research projects in Huo group will focus on the development and applications of multi-scale theoretical approaches that combine novel dynamics methods and scalable electronic structure methods to investigate the complex reaction dynamics associated with solar energy harvesting and storage processes. In particular, the primary research interests focus on:

(1) Excitation-induced charge separation dynamics in organic photovoltaic devices.

(2) Photo-induced proton-coupled electron transfer reactions.

(3) Catalytic fuel generation reactions such as hydrogen evolution.
