Due to university regulations we will now accept applications until April 14th for the
position that was originally posted on February 20th:
A postdoctoral position is available in the chemical dynamics group at the University of
Gothenburg, Sweden. Alternatively, an exceptionally talented undergraduate applicant
may be considered for a PhD program.
The research project involves theoretical investigation of chemical processes which are
ultimately important for the understanding of star and galaxy formation. Particular focus
will lie on molecule formation by radiative association, which is important in dust-poor
regions of space. Molecules of interest are, for example, CN, CH_2, and OCS.
We seek an individual with a PhD in theoretical physics or theoretical chemistry and with
an interest in implementing the tools of quantum mechanics on computers to simulate
processes in gas phase chemical dynamics. Ideally the applicant has experience of
quantum dynamics and/or electronic structure calculations as well as programming.
The position is funded by the European effort ASTRONET and the Gothenburg group is a
part of the collaboration CATS (Coherent set of Astrophysical Tools for Spectroscopy)
which includes 18 chemists, astronomers, and physicists from Sweden, Germany, and
France.
The postdoc position is initially for one year but may be extended to three years upon
mutual agreement. The salary will be competitive.
Interested candidates are invited to send their application including a CV, list of
publications, a statement of qualifications relevant for the position, and names and
contact information of three references by email to:
