Project title: Ultrafast dynamics and spectroscopy of DNA/RNA nucleobases and analogues
A postdoctoral position is available in the area of ab initio molecular dynamics in the group of Prof. Leticia González at the Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Vienna. The position is funded by the FWF for up to two years.
Research topic: The aim of the project will be to develop a method to calculate time-dependent ionization yields in a surface-hopping method, so that the results of on-the-fly non-adiabatic ab initio molecular dynamics can be directly compared with time-resolved photoelectron experiments. Simulations will be performed on DNA/RNA nucleobases and analogues prompted to display high triplet yields. The calculations will be done using a recently developed molecular dynamics code that allows treating non-adiabatic and spin-orbit couplings simultaneously. More about our research can be found in www.theochem.univie.ac.at
Qualifications: Qualified candidates hold (or are in the process of obtaining) a PhD in Chemistry or Physics, have strong programming skills and experience with ab initio molecular dynamics techniques. Knowledge of multiconfigurational quantum chemistry is desirable. Successful candidates are highly motivated, have excellent communications skills and are able to work independently as well as a part of a team. Excellent English command, written and spoken.
Interested individuals should submit a PDF containing motivation letter, CV, publication record and the contact information of three potential referees to:
Prof. Dr. Leticia González
University of Vienna
Institute of Theoretical Chemistry, Währinger Str. 17, A-1090 Vienna, Austria
