Open Position: Simulations of Proton Mobility
in Liquid
Water.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Postdoctoral-position at the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem regarding Quantum
Simulations of Proton Mobility and Acid
Dissociation in liquid water.
This is a joint project with Prof. G.A.
Voth,
from the University of Utah, whose aim is to analyze in detail
classical and
quantal MD results obtained using the Utah MS-EVB/CMD software
package, to
elucidate the molecular mechanisms governing these fundamental
processes.
The program will run on a parallel computer PC-cluster in
Jerusalem, where
tools to analyze the computed trajectories will be
developed.
Starting date: immediate. Maximal duration
-- 2 years.
A stay of several months in Salt Lake City is required for
learning to use the simulation software.
Back in Israel, the candidate will
write the computer code necessary to analyze the quantal
trajectories.
Competitive tax-exempt Fellowship will be offered to qualifying
individual,
which more than compensates for living expenses in Israel and the
US.
Candidate's qualifications should include:
Good background in
molecular dynamics, Fortran programming;
Quantal calculations and parallel
processing experience could be useful.
Excellent/experienced Ph.D. candidates
will also be considered.
Kindly send updated CV, list of publications
and
