Postdoctoral position in Computational Chemistry, LiU, Sweden

A postdoctoral position is available within the Division of Computational Physics at 
Linkoeping University, Sweden (http://www.ifm.liu.se/theomod/compphys).

The position involves research in the field of computational photochemistry, with particular focus
on quantum chemical and QM/MM studies of the mechanisms and ideal designs of synthetic
light-driven rotary molecular motors.

Candidates for the position should have a solid background in computational chemistry and 
experience of quantum chemical modeling of organic molecules in excited states, preferably
documented through relevant research articles in international journals. In addition, familiarity
with QM/MM methods would be advantageous. The appointee is expected to have the ability to
work both independently and in close collaboration with other researchers. A good command of
English is therefore essential.

The position, which carries a tax-free net salary of 20 000 SEK/month, is available immediately
and is initially for 1 year. Subject to satisfactory progress, prolongation of the position is both
desirable and possible.

The Division of Computational Physics at Linkoeping University offers a stimulating environment
for research, with scientists from all around the world working in a range of different areas, as 
described on the homepage cited above. The project in which the appointee will be working is
funded by a number of external sources and has ample access to high-performance computing
resources at the National Supercomputing Centre in Linkoeping (http://www.nsc.liu.se).  

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr Bo Durbeej (bodur@ifm.liu.se) for further 
information. Please append your CV and list of publications to any inquiry.
