POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
VANCOUVER, CANADA
A postdoctoral position in theoretical/computational quantum chemistry
is immediately available in the laboratory of Yan Alexander Wang. The
appointment will be one year initially, and can be extended for more
years upon mutual satisfaction.
The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in one or several of the
ongoing projects, which are highlighted below by some recent papers.
