A postdoctoral position in the area of theoretical/computational
reaction kinetics is available immediately in the Computational Reaction
Dynamics Group (CRDG) at the University of Queensland. The successful
candidate will be involved in applying any or all of
(1) microcanonical variational transition state theory (generalised
reaction coordinate),
(2) classical trajectories,
(3) electronic structure calculations and
(4) stochastic master equation solutions
for the modelling of fast radical + unsaturated hydrocarbon reactions of
importance in combustion, atmospheric and interstellar chemistry. This
work will form part of a collaborative initiative between the CRDG at
Uni of Qld (http://www.chemistry.uq.edu.au/homepages/crdgroup/) and the
Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS), Academia Sincia,
Taiwan, where these reactions are being studied experimentally in a
crossed-molecular-beam apparatus
(http://po.iams.sinica.edu.tw/~kaiser/).
Interested candidates are invited to send (electronically) a resume and
the names of two potential referees to myself, address as below.
Sean Smith.
