Postdoctoral position in theoretical chemistry
A postdoctoral position in available in the group of Prof. Craig C. Martens
at the University of California, Irvine. Opportunities exist for
contribution to two general research areas:
--The development and application of semiclassical methodology for modeling
dynamics and ultrafast spectroscopy in many-body systems. This project
focuses on treating ultrafast photodynamics, nonadiabatic dynamics,
electronic dephasing, many-body tunneling, and other physical problems
using methods based on the semiclassical limit of the quantum Liouville
equation.
--Studies of many-body ultrafast dynamical phenomenology and theoretical
spectroscopy in far-from-equilibrium systems using molecular dynamics
simulation and analytic methods. This project combines large-scale
molecular dynamics simulation of the nonlinear many-body dynamics of
condensed phase systems with the development of new analytic approaches to
describing these challenging problems and the design of new experimental
(or gedanken-experimental) techniques that allow the resulting novel
ultrafast phenomena to be observed and characterized.
(Reprints and preprints containing more information are available upon
request.)
The successful applicant will have a strong background and interest in one
or more of the following areas: large-scale molecular dynamics simulation
methodology, theoretical aspects of nonlinear spectroscopy, nonadiabatic
molecular dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, semiclassical mechanics.
Please send an application, consisting of a curriculum vitae, brief
statement of research interests and experience, and two or more letters of
recommendation, to:
