PhD opening in theoretical chemistry and physics

Applications are invited for a PhD position in the group of Dr. Katarzyna Pernal 
in the Institute of Physics, Technical University of Lodz, Poland. The position is 
linked to a project "Accurate description of intermolecular interaction energies 
from extended random phase approximation" operated within the Foundation for 
Polish Science "Pomost Programme" co-financed by the European Regional Development 
Fund. The project will be conducted in collaboration with Laboratoire de Chimie 
Theorique, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris. 

The position is in the field of theoretical/computational chemistry and physics. 
The project involves development and coding of new quantum chemistry methods 
based on extensions of random phase approximations. The new methods will 
be employed in describing molecular systems with noncovalent interactions. 
Additionally, new methods will be developed to obtain excitation energies. 

REQUIREMENTS
* Full university degree (Master Degree or equivalent) in Theoretical/Quantum 
  Chemistry or Theoretical/Computational Physics (candidates expecting to receive 
  their M.Sc. degree till the end of June are encourage to apply as well).
* Good knowledge of quantum chemistry/physics methods.
* Programming skills.
* Strong mathematical background.
* Fluent spoken and written English. 

APPLICATIONS

Those interested in the position should contact Dr. Katarzyna Pernal 
(pernalk{}gmail.com, tel: +48-426313656). 
Applications are accepted till June 15, 2011. 
Applications should include: a CV, a motivation letter, a letter of recommendation, 
a copy of Master diploma (or equivalent), a transcript of academic record.

Closing date for applications: 2011-06-15
