A postdoctoral position in theoretical physical chemistry is available
in the
group of Dr. Spiridoula Matsika at the Department of Chemistry of Temple
University, in Philadelphia, effective immediately. The appointment is
initially for one year with a possible extension of two or more years.
The research involves the development and application of computational
methods for the study of nonadiabatic processes in biologically relevant
systems. The effect of conical intersections in these processes is of
particular interest. Projects include extension of the state of the art
methods
for locating and characterizing conical intersections to include
solvent
and/or protein environment effects, with continuum solvation models and
QM/MM methods. Applications involve studying radiationless decay
processes in nucleic acid bases. Another area of interest is the study
of
conical intersections in systems where the effect of the spin-orbit
coupling
becomes important, like transitions metals and other heavy elements.
Highly motivated candidates with a strong background in theoretical
chemistry, physics or related fields are encouraged to apply.
Programming experience and good mathematical skills are important.
Interested candidates should send a CV and arrange for three
recommendation letters to be sent directly to the address below.
E-mail is preferred. Feel free to contact me for further details.
