The successful candidate will use density functional theory calculations and/or correlated wavefunction methods to study photoelectrochemical reactions and/or the charge separation and recombination dynamics on semiconductors, such as TiO2 and Fe2O3. The postdoctoral position is part of a larger cross-disciplinary research program shared between Chemistry and Physics, and is supported by Area of Advance Material Science and Area of Advance Energy in order to strengthen Chalmers Solar activities. Hence, the theoretical work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental efforts in the Chemical Physics/Physical Chemistry group at Chalmers. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to one year with possibility for a one-year extension, i.e. maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications/Necessary qualifications for the postdoctoral position are:
(1) PhD in Computational Physics/Chemistry/Materials Science.
The degree should generally not be older than four years.
(2) Documented experience of density functional theory calculations.
(3) Skills in scripting and programming are mandatory.
(4) A solid background in quantum mechanics, solid-state theory and thermodynamics is required.
(5) The candidate has to be able to work independently and have good skills in communicating scientific results in written and spoken English.
