"Density functional theory for equilibrium and non-equilibrium solvation"
A postdoctoral position is available in the group of Irene Burghardt, in
the framework of an ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) project on the
topic of "Density functional theory (DFT) for equilibrium and non-equilibrium
solvation". The project will focus on the development and implementation of
classical time-dependent (TD-DFT) approaches for non-equilibrium solvation;
these will be applied in conjunction with mixed quantum-classical schemes.
This project is part of a collaboration involving the groups of Daniel
Borgis and Rodolphe Vuilleumier, which addresses the development of new and
accurate classical density functionals (e.g., for water), as well as the
development of unified theoretical formulations which combine DFT and TD-DFT
for electronic structure and solvation ("all-DFT" approaches). Furthermore,
a collaboration with Biman Bagchi (Bangalore) will be an integral part of
the project (see Burghardt and Bagchi, Chem. Phys. 329, 343 (2006)).
Candidates should have interest and experience in solvation dynamics,
density functional theory, quantum dynamics and/or electronic structure
methods; a complementary background in several of these areas is highly
desirable. Further, a working knowledge of Unix systems and programming in
Fortran is required. The position is available from September 2007 onwards,
and the initial appointment is for 1 year, with a possible extension.
Candidates should address an application including a CV and a publication
list to Dr. Irene Burghardt, and should arrange for two recommendation
letters to be sent upon request. Applications may be sent by email.
