Post-doctoral position in theoretical and computational chemistry:
Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
One or more postdoctoral positions in theoretical and computational
chemistry are available with negotiable start dates, in the group of
Dr. Srinivasan S. Iyengar at the department of chemistry, Indiana
University, Bloomington, Indiana. The initial appointment will be for
a period of one year, renewable upon mutual consent. The position
will involve research in theoretical chemistry with particular
emphasis on ab initio molecular dynamics. Areas of research will include
one or more of the following:
(a) extensions to the newly developed Atom-centered Density Matrix
Propagation method (ADMP, see for example J. Chem. Phys. 115, 10291 (2001))
to allow quantum dynamical studies of subsystems. This development will
facilitate the study of electron transport in carbon nanotubes and the study of
biological applications with important quantum-nuclear effects,
(b) development of a novel non-adiabatic dynamics extension to Atom-centered
Density Matrix Propagation,
(c) a non-peturbative study of interaction of radiation with matter in the
non-linear and near-field optical regimes. This will require simultaneous
treatment of the Maxwell's equations along with ab initio dynamics of matter.
The research will be focused towards the development of new computational
and theoretical methods and tools that scale reasonably with system size,
to allow for efficient study of medium-to-large size systems. Please visit

Please feel free to contact me for further details and/or have three letters
of recommendation letters sent directly to the address below. (Electronic
mail is preferred.)
Best Regards,
Srinivasan S. Iyengar
