Postdoctoral Position with Dr. Evelyn Goldfield
Department of Chemistry
Wayne State University
Detroit, MI 48202
A postdoctoral position in theoretical quantum chemical dynamics is
available immediately at Wayne State University in my research group. One
focus of the research is the exploitation of scalable parallel computing
in quantum wavepacket dynamics in order to extend the size and complexity
of the systems that can be studied accurately. Parallel algorithms will be
developed, implemented and applied to several interesting and
computationally challenging chemical systems. One project involves
further development of an efficient scalable quantum dynamics code for
four atom systemms and its application to several diatom-diatom and atom-
triatom reactions. Another project is the use of reduced-dimensionality
quantum dynamics models to study the mechanisms of organic reactions
involving diradical intermediates. A list of relevant publications can be
found at http://dynamo.chem.wayne.edu/evi/publications/pub.html.
The Chemistry department at WSU has a strong and prominent contingent
of theoretical/computational chemists. Information about the chemistry
department can be found at http://www.chem.wayne.edu.
This is a one year appointment with a possible renewal for a second year.
Applications must have a Ph.D. in chemistry, physics or a related field.
Experience with some aspect of chemical reaction dynamics and a strong
background in scientific computing are highly desirable.
Interested candidates should send a CV, a publication list and three
letters of recommendation to Evelyn Goldfield, Dept. of Chemistry, Wayne
State University, Detroit, MI 48202, USA. It is fine to contact me
directly by sending email to [log in to unmask] or phone me at
313-577-2580. My fax number is 313-577-2554. Further information about
Wayne State University can be found on the world wide web at
