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.

The Department of Chemistry at UiT The Arctic University of Norway has two Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions vacant, each for a fixed-term position of three years. The positions are attached to the Hylleraas Centre for Quantum Molecular Sciences, a Norwegian Centre of Research Excellence.

 

The application deadline for both positions is May 25 2021.

 

Research focus for position 1: 

The successful candidate is expected to work on developing the theoretical framework and its implementation for the calculation of solid-state paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (pNMR) of doublet systems in a two- and four-component relativistic framework based on Gaussian-type integrals. The methodology implemented will be applied to relevant materials science problems. Mentors will be Prof. Kenneth Ruud and Dr. Michal Repisky. To apply and to find more information, visit the webpages of jobbnorge.no.

 

Researhc focus for position 2:

The successful candidate is expected to work on developing multiscale modelling methods for the understanding of spectroscopic processes in a wide frequency range for a range of different systems, from solvated molecules to large biomolecular complexes. The successful candidate is in particular expected to continue the development of polarizable embedding and polarizable density embeddings method for the study of advanced vibrational spectroscopies and the extension of the approach to magnetic and X-ray spectroscopies. Mentor will be Prof. Kenneth Ruud. To apply and to find more information, visit the webpages of jobbnorge.no.

 

Qualifications

For both positions, applicants are required to hold a Norwegian doctoral degree in the subject area or a corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree. Qualification with a PhD is required before commencement in the position. If you’re at the final stages of your PhD, you may still apply if you have submitted your PhD thesis for doctoral degree evaluation within the application deadline. You must submit the thesis with your application. You must have dissertated before the start-up date of the position. For full qualification requirements, check the full announcement texts.
