Overview
Fully funded (fees and maintenance) PhD studentships are available within the group of Dr Martin J. Paterson at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, from October 2010 (the start date is negotiable). These positions are available as part of a large grant recently awarded by the European Research Council.
Positions are available in the general area of computational photochemistry. One position involves the development and application of stochastic configuration interaction techniques to excited state chemistry. A suitable candidate for this position will have strong interests in theories of electron correlation and electronic structure method development. The second position involves the application of advanced methods to inorganic and supramolecular photochemistry, including response theory, multi-reference techniques, multi-state dynamics and hybrid QM/MM methods. A suitable candidate for this position will have interests in using state-of-the-art computational research to gain a deeper understanding of important problems of biochemical and technological interest. For both positions the candidates will be expected to work as part of a larger research team.
The studentships are fully funded for up to 48 months, with an annual maintenance of £14,500 (tax free) and include fees at UK/EU levels.
Applicants should have, or expect to gain, a 1st or 2(1) honours degree in chemistry, physics, or another suitable subject. Previous experience with computational chemistry research methods is desirable.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to:
Dr Martin J. Paterson
Department of chemistry
School of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Heriot-Watt Univeristy
