POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY (CANADA)
Postdoctoral position is available in the UOIT (University of Ontario Institute of Technology)
Faculty of Science, starting from December 1 or as soon as possible after that date.
The UOIT is located in the city of Oshawa about 1 hour drive from Toronto (Ontario), and is well
serviced by public transit (bus and train).
The NSERC-funded project involves computational studies of the structure and properties of unique
core-shell systems composed of metal cluster cages filled with molecular species (core and shell
interacting either covalently or noncovalently).
The work is aimed at cluster structure and property modification and design, with potential
applications including tunable catalysis, molecular storage, shaped nanostructures, reactions
steered and promoted in confined environment.
Examples can be found in the following papers:
Chem. Phys. Lett. 545 (2012) 44
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009261412008172)
J. Phys. Chem. A 115 (2011) 12105
(http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/jp206869g)
Chem. Phys. Lett. 466 (2008) 44
(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009261408013766)
The position is for one year with a possible extension for another year by mutual agreement.
Potential candidates should have Ph.D in Chemistry, Physics, or related discipline, as well as
experience in atomic and molecular electronic structure, and in ab initio calculations using
modern quantum chemistry software. Previous experience in modelling cluster systems is a plus.
Interested candidates should send (preferably by e-mail) their CV and Pulication list, and
addresses (including e-mail) of 3 persons willing to supply a recommendation letter, and are
welcome to direct enquiries for further information to:
Dr Fedor Naumkin
