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
is available starting Fall of 2003, 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
agreement. 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 later
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) the 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
my webpage at Indiana University: http://www.chem.indiana.edu/
for further details.
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.)
