Sweden: PhD position in theoretical chemistry at Uppsala University

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.
