POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER in COMPUTATIONAL NANOPHYSICS, University of Jyväskylä (JYU)

The position is for two years and starts on 1.5.2022 or as soon as possible  thereafter. A one-year extension may be considered depending on the progress of the project. 

The Postdoctoral Researcher will work in the research group of Professor Hannu Häkkinen in an international project where gold nanoparticles will be functionalized for photodynamic therapy. The tasks of the researcher will include development and validation of state-of-art computational methods to study photophysics (absorption and fluorescence) of the nanoparticles in a wide energy range from X-rays to visible light. The international setting of the project enables wide interactions with experimental groups in Canada, US, UK and Japan. The group of prof. Häkkinen works at the JYU’s Nanoscience Center which  is an interdisciplinary research organization where physicists, chemists and biologists work together to study nature at the nanoscale. NSC forms an international scientific community and its research projects span from fundamental investigations of processes in nanoscale structures to development of commercial products. The deadline for applications is March 31, 2022. For more info and link to the online application, see:
