Overview
PhD position in theoretical chemistry
at the Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, starting date as soon as possible
Project description: The main subject of this PhD project is multi-configurational electron structure theory and methods. The scope of the project is broad with respect to method developments. The primary goal of the project is to develop and implement improvements in multi-configurational methods. Especially the project will focus on the problems associated with removal of the one-particle basis set incompletness with explicitly correlated wave function models, limitations of the current method with respect to the number of electrons which can be handled at once, and techniques for the explicit use of the fact that electron correlation in non-metallic compounds is local. The application of multi-configurational methods to the study of enzymatic catalysis, photo chemical processes, luminescence and hydrogen gas storage is a part of the project. The application part of the project and their interpretation is of equal importance as compared to the method developments.
Qualifications: A successful candidate should have a master of science in chemistry or physics. Limitations in the candidates CV with respect to chemistry, physics or mathematics
will be compensated for through the individual study plan established after being accepted to the project. Knowledge in developments of algorithms, numerical methods and program development are key merits. In case two candidates are judged to be equal the quality of the master thesis will be of significance. The candidate should have good communication skills, excellent grades and developed abilities in written and spoken English.
The PhD position is for a period of four years and could be extended by departmental duties at a level of at most 20 %. Further information: http://www.teknat.uu.se and http://www.pac.uu.se.
Uppsala university is striving to achieve a more even gender balance among staff and women are especially encouraged to apply.
Application requirements
Applications should include a brief description of research interest and past experience, a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Master thesis (or a draft thereof) and other relevant documents. The candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation.
Inquiries
For further information about the position please contact: Professor Roland Lindh, phone +46 18 471 3263 +46 18 471 3263, Roland.Lind@kvac.uu.se. Union representatives are: Anders Grundström, Saco-rådet, phone +46 18-471 5380 , Carin Söderhäll, TCO/ST, phone +46 18 471 1996 and Stefan Djurström, Seko, phone +46 18-471 3315.
How to apply
The application should be sent, preferably by e-mail to: registrator@uu.se , or by fax
+ 46 18 471 2000, or by mail to: Registrar´s Office, Uppsala University, Box 256, SE-751 05 UPPSALA, Sweden. In any correspondence, please use the reference number UFV-PA 2010/1438. Application deadline on 23 June, 2010.
