Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a 3-4 week delay between posts being submitted and emails being sent to the mailing list. Please bear with us while we try to improve this.
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.

Topic:
Photoinduced electron, proton and energy transport in molecules and materials is the functional core of many biological and engineered processes such as light-harvesting, photosynthesis, charge-separation in photovoltaic devices and photomechanical switching. Although the photons couple directly with the electrons in these processes, it is the intricate interplay of the electrons and nuclei that dictates the directionality and efficiency of the energy and charge exchange. New and emerging time-resolved and multidimensional X-ray/optical techniques open the doors to directly probe the underlying ultrafast coupled electron–nuclear dynamics. In other words, they encode explanations of how such photo-induced processes work. However, decoding the experiments relies critically on a close synergy with theory and simulation.
You will develop and use new theoretical tools to simulate, interpret and ultimately predict the associated spectral fingerprints of light-driven molecular processes. We will follow alternative theoretical perspectives with a two-fold aim: (i) to develop new fundamental insight into light–matter interactions and the inner workings of photoinduced processes and (ii) to explore possible practical routes to overcome existing methodological and computational bottlenecks in current state-of-the-art approaches.
You will be working at the Department of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology (TCB). TCB conducts applied theoretical research in several important areas including photoinduced dynamics, catalysis, spectroscopy, nanoparticle sciences, supramolecular chemistry, and biochemistry. This research is solidly anchored in real-world activities at the research forefront through our wide network of local, national, and international experimental research groups.
