Dear all, A PhD position is available at the Theoretical Chemistry group of the Institute for Molecules and Materials at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, the Netherlands (http://www.theochem.ru.nl). The project is entitled: "Rotation-vibration inelastic collision rates of polyatomic molecules". The goal is to develop computational quantum scattering methods for this problem and to apply them to collisions of molecules such as CO2, HCCH, and CH4 with He and H2. Computation of the required potential energy surfaces using ab-initio electronic structure calculations will be part of the project. The project is funded by the Dutch Astrochemistry Network II, research them "The gaseous molecular Universe" (https://www.nwo.nl/en/research-and-results/programmes/Astrochemistry) You will have the opportunity interact with astrochemists and astrophysicist in the network and to collaborate with experimental molecular physicists at the Radboud University Nijmegen who perform advanced collision experiments that provide tests of our methods. Candidates with a master degree in chemistry, physics, or related field will be considered. When filling a PhD position at the Radboud University Nijmegen, you will get a contract for 4 years. During the first year the gross salary is approximately 2000 euro per month, increasing to about 2400 euro during the fourth year. Please send your application letter and CV to: Prof. Dr. Gerrit C. Groenenboom __________________________________________ Theoretical Chemistry Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM) Radboud University Heyendaalseweg 135 6525 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands E-mail: [log in to unmask] http://www.theochem.ru.nl/~gerritg To join or leave the molecular-dynamics-news email list, go to: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/molecular-dynamics-news.html
