PhD position in Theoretical Chemistry
Field: Light-induced Dynamics of Electrons in Molecules
Location: Technical University Munich, Germany
Department of Chemistry
Available: Starting May 2009 or later
A PhD position in Theoretical Chemistry is available at the
Technical University Munich in the group of Prof. M. Nest,
starting May 2009. (The actual starting date is negotiable).
We are working in the field of quantum dynamics of atoms
and electrons in molecules and at surfaces (see also
www.theo.chemie.tu-muenchen.de/homepages/nest/).
We invite applications of graduate students of chemistry,
physics, applied mathematics or computer science for PhD work on
"Ab initio correlated many electron quantum dynamics". The emphasis
is to simulate and understand the behaviour of correlated many
electron systems under the influence of external perturbations,
like laser pulses. This is especially important, since many
techniques of chemistry and physics, like photoelectron spectroscopy
and tunneling microscopy, rely on moving electrons.
The successful candidates should have a strong background in one
or more of the following areas: Computational chemistry, quantum
physics, quantum chemistry, quantum optics, or programming. They
are expected to participate in a PhD program with the goal to
finish a doctoral thesis in Theoretical Chemistry within 3 years.
Please send a cover letter, CV, and publication list to
