Overview
The candidate will prepare a PhD thesis with as main focus systematic theoretical studies of the electronic and chemical properties of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in their ground, ionized and/or excited electronic states, using single- and multi-reference many-body quantum mechanical methods as well as Density Functional Theory. A main goal of the project is to study the cascade of chemical reactions induced by multiple ionization and electronic excitation events in clusters of PAHs, in order to model the consequences of radiation damages or electron transfers in highly conducting organic materials, such as pentacene. Besides research, giving educational assistance in (computer) exercises and research internships can be possible tasks of the candidate.
Profile and diploma
Academic license (4 years), master (5 years) of equivalent diploma (bvb. DEA) in chemistry, physics, or materials sciences, or civil engineering in chemistry, physics, or materials sciences. A strong interest and background in physical and quantum chemistry, or chemical physics and molecular quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and computer simulations are required.
Offer
The scholarship is available for a period of 4 years. It consists of a first appointment of 2 years, followed by a prolongation of 2 years unless negative evaluation of the first period. The scholarship is subject to social security. Important computer facilities and a supporting research environment within the framework of a research network involving all quantum chemistry research groups in Flanders are available for the candidate (for more information on our research activities and track records, visit our website: http://www.uhasselt.be/theochem).
