A PhD position (3 years from October) is available in theoretical
chemistry at Aix-Marseille Universite (iSm2) -- France.
The research project is on 'Development of molecular
pseudopotentials for the study of properties and chemical
reactions in condensed phase.'
This theoretical chemistry project aims to simplify the study of
experiences made in rare-gas matrices for reproducing interstellar
conditions. From a computational point of view, the description of
the environment (i.e. the rare-gas matrix) is resource-consuming.
Within the CTOM group, pseudopotentials have been already developed
to treat the environment of chemical systems by reducing the
computational cost. We propose to further develop those methods and
to adapt them to reproduce effects of more complex chemical means,
such as the gas-rare matrices. This project will imply some
programming (Fortran and/or python).
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, at least
a letter of recommendation, the marks of the last year
and they should obtain a post graduate degree (Master 2) before
October 2016. The deadline for submission is the 18th May 2016.
