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.
Postdoctoral Position in Nonadiabatic Dynamics a ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A postdoctoral position is available in the computational surface chemistry group led by Dr. Reinhard Maurer at the University of Warwick. The project will focus on the first-principles simulation of nonadiabatic dynamics at metal surfaces. In this role, you will work on a curiosity-driven project towards developing novel mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics simulation methods for the purpose of simulating light- and electron-driven reaction dynamics in photocatalysis and gas-surface dynamics. The project will provide you with space and resources for your personal career and profile development, combining method development, application to real-world problems, and collaboration with experimental groups. Your project will complement ongoing work by postdoctoral researchers and PhD students in the group working towards common goals.
Your Profile: You might have a background in theoretical chemistry or theoretical condensed matter physics or in a similar field. You love working on hard problems that live at the boundary of theoretical method and computational software development. You enjoy working in a team where you contribute your expertise and skillset to deliver an ambitious research vision and where you can contribute to the training of PhD and Master’s students. You are excited about opportunities to communicate with international collaborators across disciplinary and cultural boundaries.
Who we are: In the Computational Surface Chemistry Group at Warwick, we aim to develop computational simulation methodology to study quantum phenomena at surfaces with applications ranging from plasmonic catalysis to nanotechnology and electrochemistry. Our goal is to combine electronic structure theory, molecular and quantum dynamics methodology and machine learning methods to achieve an accurate yet computationally feasible description of complex phenomena at solid/gas and solid/liquid interfaces. The currently 17 members of the group come from diverse backgrounds in chemistry, mathematics, and physics and foster a collaborative and supportive work environment. The group is one of six computational chemistry groups and part of an interdepartmental computational materials research community spanning the Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering departments. We welcome flexible working arrangements including part-time and remote working.
The position has a closing date of 17 March 2021. Informal enquiries to [email protected] are welcomed.
