Two postdoctoral positions are now available in the research group of
Prof. Michael Collins at the Research School of Chemistry,
Australian National University (Canberra).
One position will be involved in the accurate prediction of the shape and
chemical reactivity of large organic and biological molecules, with
particular focus on the effect of non-bonded interactions within the
molecules. The project builds on recent advances in the ab initio estimation
of molecular electronic energies using fragmentation methods, and will be
carried out in collaboration with the quantum chemistry group of Professor
Peter Gill. Experience in ab initio quantum chemistry techniques would be an
advantage, but this position primarily requires general skills and knowledge
in theoretical chemical physics and computational chemistry.
The other position will be involved in the theoretical chemical reaction
dynamics of small molecules. The research will build on recent advances in
the study of both non-adiabatic chemical reactions and reactions in the
ground electronic state. Experience with multi-reference ab initio quantum
chemistry techniques would be an advantage, but this position also primarily
requires general skills and knowledge in theoretical chemical physics and
computational chemistry.
