Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theoretical Chemistry

 

Applications are invited for a 3-year postdoctoral position in theoretical chemistry at the

School of Chemistry, University of Leeds, to work in the new and rapidly developing area

of multidimesional quantum mechanics.  The goal of the project is to develop and apply

new methods of quantum mechanics, which allow treatment of large number of quantum

degrees of freedom. For our previous work see for example Chem.Phys. 304, 103 (2004);

Chem.Phys. 322, 127 (2006); J.Chem.Phys. 121, 3563, (2004).  Applications are planned

to simulations of clusters, quantum fluids, spectra of polyatomic molecules and electron

dynamics in laser fields.    The project will be supervised by Dr Dmitry Shalashilin and

will involve collaboration with Professors David Clary and Mark Child from Oxford

University. Applicants must have PhD in chemistry physics or related fields. Experience

in the area of quantum dynamics and a good taste for analytical and numerical

 techniques together with programming skills are required.

 

The position is available on 1 April 2007, or as soon as possible thereafter.

 

University Grade 7 (£26,402 - £30,606 p.a.)
