Opening of a permanent position as Assistant Professor at Laboratoire de Chimie et Physique Quantiques, UMR5626, Université Paul Sabatier and CNRS, Toulouse, with the following research profile :

The profile is oriented towards modelling, simulation and dynamics of complex molecules and clusters, taking into account complexity, either due do system size (scope : 100-1000 atoms) or due to excitation (collisions, laser). The future Assistant Professor will perform his research in the group “Modelling, Clusters and Dynamics” that includes both molecular physicists and theoretical chemists. He/she will develop methods for molecular simulations in view of applications of astrochemical or environmental interest (large carbonaceous molecules and complexes, clusters and grains, molecule-surface and molecule-cluster interaction).

The required skills are at the interface between investigations of electronic structure and molecular dynamics, and should be complementary to those of the group members, in order to develop modelling and simulation tools in one or more of the following topics:

− Molecular Dynamics or Monte Carlo simulation, determination of thermodynamic properties

− Quantum approaches of nuclear dynamics for large molecular systems (path integrals approaches for instance)

− Coupling between electronic (excited states) and nuclear dynamics − Multi-scale and statistical approaches

LCPQ (www.lcpq.ups-tlse.fr) belongs to the “Institut de Recherches sur les Système Atomiques et Moléculaires Complexes” (www.irsamc.ups-tlse) including 4 laboratories (LCAR, LPT, LCPQ et LPCNO) and also belongs to the Labex NEXT (Nano, Mesures Extrêmes et théorie) associating physics and several physical-chemistry laboratories in Toulouse.

The future assistant-professor will teach in programs relevant to physical chemistry and theoretical chemistry at various levels: L1-L3, M1-M2 and will possibly take an active part in the set-up of new courses/tutorials. The teaching language is French.
