Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…

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.

UCL Department / Division: Chemistry

Location of position: London

Grade: 7

Hours: Full Time

Salary (inclusive of London allowance) £35,328 to £42,701 per annum

Closing date: 27 May 2019

 

Duties and Responsibilities

Applications are invited for a Research Fellow to work in the group of Dr. Martijn Zwijnenburg, alongside the groups of Dr. Furio Cora and Dr. Ben Slater, in the Department of Chemistry at University College London. The post is funded through a prestigious EPSRC Programme Grant, to work in a multidisciplinary team to develop new integrated computational and experimental approaches to the discovery of new inorganic, hybrid and organic materials and identify new materials in energy, information processing, catalysis.

The postholder will focus in particular on the study of photocatalytic processes by computational chemistry methods. They will computationally screen new (polymeric) photocatalysts for water splitting, while colleagues in Liverpool will synthesize the best leads predicted and test their activity. Specific activities will include the calculation of the optical and photocatalytic properties of polymers using advanced electronic structure methods (TD-DFT, CC2, CASSCF, CASPT2, BSE, deltaSCF, GW) and the acceleration of screening by exploration of low-cost alternatives to such methods.

The appointment is funded through the EPRSRC and is initially for one year.

 

Key Requirements

The successful candidate will have a PhD degree (or be about to be awarded a PhD) in Chemistry, Physics, or Materials Science, in depth knowledge of quantum chemical methods for excited state calculations, electronic localisation and/or electronic transport, working knowledge of organic/polymeric compounds, and experience with programming in Python and computational high-throughput screening of materials. They will be expected to work in a highly multidisciplinary collaborative team, and have effective communication skills.

Please note, appointment at Grade 7 is dependent upon having been awarded a PhD; if this is not the case, initial appointment will be at Research Assistant Grade 6B (salary £30,922 to £32,607 per annum) with payment at Grade 7 being backdated to the date of final submission of the PhD thesis.
