Postdoctoral position in computational chemistry applied to atmospheric and
nanoscience including surface science at the University of Helsinki, Finland
A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry
up to three years starting January 1st 2009. The salary is 2800 - 3200 euro
per month depending on the experience. The successful candidate is expected
to carry out computational research in the field of atmospheric chemistry
and/or nanoscience including surface science. We are particularly interested
in molecular complexes of atmospheric importance (water dimer, water trimer
and various complexes involving water monomer), metal clusters on
semiconductor surfaces and molecules adsorbed on catalytic metal surfaces.
For our work of atmospheric relevance see J. Phys. Chem. A 112, 6305-–6312
(2008) and J. Phys. Chem. A 112, 7439-–7447 (2008). For nanoscience and
surface chemistry see J. Phys. Chem. B 109, 8954-–8960 (2005), Mol. Phys.
105, 1271–-1282 (2007) and J. Phys. Chem. A 111, 12317–-12326 (2007).
The Helsinki computational chemistry/molecular spectroscopy group has
excellent computational and experimental facilities, and is part of the
Finnish Center of Excellence in Computational Molecular Science. The
research group consists of about 10 people. Our laboratory is located in the
Chemistry Department building in the new Kumpula science campus area.
Helsinki, being Finland’s capital, is a vibrant city that offers many
cultural events all year round. Finland is particularly attractive due to
its wild nature, which includes tens of thousands of lakes and islands.
There are excellent opportunities for both summer and winter sports activities.
