Post-doctoral positions in computational chemistry at IISER Bhopal
Applications are invited from Indian nationals for TWO post of “Project Post-doctoral
Fellows” in the NSM-sponsored project LITESOPH (Layer Integrated Toolkit and Engine
for Simulations of Photoinduced Phenomena,) at IISER Bhopal. Check out all the details on the same below:
Project description: The project involves the development of a comprehensive toolkit for computer simulations of photo-induced phenomena based on the combination of two excited-state dynamics approaches: ab initio techniques (based on TDDFT), and
open quantum system approaches (based on simple models). Target applications shall include solar energy conversion (photovoltaics, water-splitting catalysts, solar fuels,
etc.), optoelectronic materials, photochemistry and photobiology.
Duration: Initially 12 months (up to three years with satisfactory performance).
Essential Qualifications: Ph.D in Computational Chemistry/Computational Quantum
Physics/Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics with good academic record.
Desirable Qualifications: Experience with DFT/TDDFT codes, classical / ab initio MD,
excited-state dynamics (surface hopping / Ehrenfest dynamics), open quantum systems,
energy transport, photo-physics.
Salary: In the range of Rs. 40,000 – 90,000 p.m. + HRA (16%), depending on experience.
How to Apply: Applications containing an
(i) cover letter,
(ii) updated CV with name and
address of 2 referees,
(iii) a 1-page writeup on their PhD thesis
should be sent by e-mailONLY to [email protected] on or before 10th January, 2020. Shortlisted candidates will
be called for an interview in Bhopal (no TA shall be provided).
For more details and context see the homepage of Dr. Varadharajan Srinivasan (ab
initio methods) and Dr. Sebastian Wüster (open quantum systems).
Last date for applications: The selection will commence on 10 January 2020, but the call will remain open until suitable candidates are found.
