Post-doctoral position in theoretical and computational chemistry:
Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.
One or more postdoctoral positions in theoretical and computational
chemistry are available Fall 2003, in the group of
Dr. Srinivasan S. Iyengar at the department of chemistry, Indiana
University, Bloomington, Indiana. The initial appointment will be for a
period of one year, renewable upon mutual consent. The position will
involve research in theoretical chemistry with particular emphasis on ab
initio molecular dynamics. Areas of research will include one or more of
the following:
(a) extensions to the newly developed Atom-centered Density Matrix
Propagation method (ADMP, see for example J. Chem. Phys. 115, 10291
(2001)) to allow quantum dynamical studies of subsystems. This
development will facilitate the study of electron transport in carbon
nanotubes and the study of biological applications with important
quantum-nuclear effects,
(b) development of a novel non-adiabatic dynamics extension to
Atom-centered Density Matrix Propagation,
(c) a non-peturbative study of interaction of radiation with matter in
the non-linear and near-field optical regimes. This will require
simultaneous treatment of the Maxwell's equations along with ab initio
dynamics of matter.
The research will be focused towards the development of new
computational and theoretical methods and tools that scale reasonably
with system size, to allow for efficient study of medium-to-large size
systems. Please visit my webpage: _
