PhD position in Theoretical Chemistry, University of Kiel, Germany ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Ph. D. position in theoretical chemistry is available starting immediately, at the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, under supervision of Prof. Bernd Hartke (http://ravel.phc.uni-kiel.de). Various research topics can be chosen in the general fields of quantum mechanical reaction dynamics on ab initio potentials, direct ab initio dynamics, or global cluster structure optimization. The emphasis can be placed on method development or applications or any mixture thereof. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in theoretical and/or computational quantum chemistry. Requirements are a Diploma or Master's degree in Chemistry or Physics and an excellent academic record. Familiarity with state-of-the-art quantum chemistry packages and experience with linux and programming languages is desired. The position is available immediately for an initial period of one year, with possibility for extension up to 3 years and for work towards obtaining a PhD. The salary is based on the German public service scale (TV-L E13/2). Women are particularly encouraged to apply, and given the same qualifications, women and handicapped persons will be preferred. Applications are invited immediately (August 2010). A first screening of them will be performed in mid-September. The search will continue until the position is filled. Please send your application, including cover letter, CV, list of courses taken in physical/theoretical/computational chemistry, copies of Diploma or Master's certificates and transcripts, short summary of Diploma or Master's thesis, copies of publications (if available) and the names of two referees (with postal and e-mail addresses) to Prof. Dr. Bernd Hartke, Institute for Physical Chemistry, University of Kiel, Olshausenstrasse 40, 24098 Kiel, Germany; Tel.: +49-431-8802753, Fax: +49-431-8801758, e-mail: [log in to unmask] -- Prof. Dr. Bernd Hartke e-mail: [log in to unmask] Theoretical Chemistry phone : +49-431-880-2753 Institute for Physical Chemistry fax : +49-431-880-1758 University of Kiel http://ravel.phc.uni-kiel.de/ Olshausenstrasse 40 24098 Kiel GERMANY To join or leave the molecular-dynamics-news email list, go to: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/molecular-dynamics-news.html
