POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN THEORETICAL/COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY
OF NOVEL NANOSYSTEMS (CANADA)
Postdoctoral position is available immediately in the UOIT Faculty of Science.
The UOIT is located in the city of Oshawa about 1 hour drive from Toronto (Ontario),
and is well serviced by public transit (bus and train).
The NSERC-funded project involves computational investigation of structure and properties
of unique core-shell species composed of metal cluster cages filled with molecules
(interacting either covalently or noncovalently).
The work is aimed at metal cluster structure and property modification and design,
with potential applications including tunable catalysis, molecular storage,
reactions steered and promoted in confined environment.
Examples can be found in the following papers:
J. Phys. Chem. A 115 (2011) 12105,
Chem. Phys. Lett. 466 (2008) 44,
J. Phys. Chem. A 112 (2008) 4660.
The position is for one year with a possible extension for another year by mutual agreement.
Potential candidates should have Ph.D in Chemistry, Physics, or related discipline, as well
as experience in atomic and molecular electronic structure, and in ab initio calculations
of polyatomics using modern quantum chemistry software. Previous experience in modelling
cluster systems is a plus, and programming skills are an advantage.
Interested candidates should send (preferably by e-mail) their CV and Pulication list, and
addresses (including e-mail) of 2-3 persons willing to supply a recommendation letter, and
are welcome to direct enquiries for further information to:
