A postdoctoral position has become available in my group at
Bar-Ilan University. The research will concern development and
application of new semiclassical approximations for the dynamics and
time-independent properties of atomic and molecular systems. Among
general topics of interest are:
(a) Development of new, computationally simple, integral
expressions for semiclassical wave functions and propagators.
(b) Extension of current initial value semiclassical
treatments to systems that are naturally described in terms of
non-Cartesian coordinates.
(c) Efficient semiclassical treatments of scattering and
spectral amplitudes.
(d) Semiclassical calculation of atomic and molecular
electronic wave functions.
(e) Practical semiclassical treatments of deep tunneling.
The techniques developed will be applied to a variety of specific systems
of chemical and physical interest.
The position is available immediately but it may be possible
to delay its start for a few months. The initial appointment is for
one year and may be renewed upon mutual agreement. Candidates should
have good mathematical backgrounds and, preferably, have experience in
semiclassical theory and/or molecular reaction dynamics. To apply,
send me a CV (e-mail is fine) and arrange to have three letters of
recommendation sent to the address below:
