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 and chemical physics
are available Spring 2005, 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 and
chemical physics 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 our

recommendation letters sent
directly to the address below. (Electronic mail is preferred.)
