Postdoc in Theoretical Chemistry: The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at DTU invites applications for a 2-year postdoc position in theoretical chemistry. The project focuses on developing TD-DFT-based electronic structure methods for excited states, with a specific application area in photoactive organic energy materials.
| Designation | Postdoc in Theoretical Chemistry |
| Research Area | Theoretical Chemistry, Excited States, Energy Materials |
| Location | Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark |
| Duration | 2 years |
| Starting Date | Expected in January 2024 or shortly thereafter |
| Application Deadline | September 24, 2023 |
Eligibility/Qualification: Applicants should hold a PhD degree (or equivalent) in theoretical chemistry or a related field. The ideal candidate should have a demonstrated expertise in quantum chemistry methods development and a strong background in electronic structure calculations for excited states.
Responsibilities and Qualifications: The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing a computational method to calculate molecular excited states. The method will be based on linear-response time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), aiming to incorporate the partially doubly excited character of the states. The candidate must possess a PhD degree and have a solid track record in theoretical chemistry methods development.
We Offer: DTU is a globally recognized technical university known for its excellence in research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. The postdoc position offers an engaging and challenging role within an international environment. The university values academic excellence, collegial respect, academic freedom, and responsibility.
