One or two postdoctoral positions in theoretical physical chemistry are
available immediately in the research group of Prof. John Herbert at The
Ohio State University. Appointments are initially for one year, renewable
for one or two additional years upon mutual consent.
One possible research project involves the development of mixed
quantum/classical models for the solvated electron. These will be
implemented within a standard electronic structure program package and used
to study the structure, spectroscopy, and dynamics of large, negatively
charged water clusters.
A second project focuses on high level single- and multi-reference ab initio
calculations of the electronically excited states of aromatic molecules,
including biological chromophores. The goals are to understand the effects
of environment (e.g., solvent) on these states, and ultimately to model
photo-activated biochemical processes.
A strong background in theoretical chemistry is required, along with either
programming experience or familiarity with standard electronic structure
program packages (preferably both). To apply, send a CV, publication list,
and contact information for three professional references by mail or email.
