A post-doctoral position in Computational Chemistry is available in the groups of A/Prof Meredith Jordan at the University of Sydney and Prof Scott Kable at the University of New South Wales. The project involves theoretical support and prediction of experimental photodissociation dynamics both in molecular beam experiments and under atmospheric conditions.
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will undertake collaborative and self-directed research compatible with the project’s aims. These include but are not limited to: (i) electronic structure theory calculations of ground and excited state species (ii) quantum and (iii) classical dynamical simulations, (iv) energy transfer and master equation modeling. They will develop new approaches to photochemical and atmospheric reactions. Extensive skills and experience in molecular dynamics, coarse grained dynamics or kinetic modelling are desirable in this context.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant discipline involving theoretical/computational chemistry, prior experience and high level skills in Linux/Unix scripting and programming, previous experience in electronic structure calculations of ground and excited state molecules, excellent communications skills, an excellent publication record in a relevant area, relative to opportunity, and the ability to work both independently and as a member of a research team.
The position is tenable at the University of Sydney for 1 year initially, renewable to 2 years based on satisfactory performance and renewal of funding.
