Postdoctoral position in theoretical chemistry A postdoctoral position in available in the group of Prof. Craig C. Martens at the University of California, Irvine. Opportunities exist for contribution to two general research areas: --The development and application of semiclassical methodology for modeling dynamics and ultrafast spectroscopy in many-body systems. This project focuses on treating ultrafast photodynamics, nonadiabatic dynamics, electronic dephasing, many-body tunneling, and other physical problems using methods based on the semiclassical limit of the quantum Liouville equation. --Studies of many-body ultrafast dynamical phenomenology and theoretical spectroscopy in far-from-equilibrium systems using molecular dynamics simulation and analytic methods. This project combines large-scale molecular dynamics simulation of the nonlinear many-body dynamics of condensed phase systems with the development of new analytic approaches to describing these challenging problems and the design of new experimental (or gedanken-experimental) techniques that allow the resulting novel ultrafast phenomena to be observed and characterized. (Reprints and preprints containing more information are available upon request.) The successful applicant will have a strong background and interest in one or more of the following areas: large-scale molecular dynamics simulation methodology, theoretical aspects of nonlinear spectroscopy, nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, nonlinear dynamics, semiclassical mechanics.
