Postdoctoral Position in Complex Systems: NYU Shanghai invites applications for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. William Glover. This role focuses on advanced research in the excited-state dynamics of complex systems, employing innovative computational methods.
Title: Postdoctoral Position in Excited-State Dynamics of Complex Systems
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area:
- Excited-state dynamics
- Computational Chemistry
- Theoretical Chemistry
- Physics
Location: Shanghai, China
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or related fields by the position start date
- Experience with molecular/quantum dynamics
- Experience in developing software for theoretical chemistry (quantum chemistry and/or classical/quantum dynamics)
- Strong command of written and spoken English
- Expertise in one or more of the following is preferred:
- Excited-state electronic structure methods
- Analytical gradient theory
- Non-adiabatic dynamics
- Polarizable embedding
- Deep learning potentials
Job Description:
The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in various projects that include:
- Developing multistate-multiphysics deep learning potentials and polarizable embedding methodologies to simulate photoinduced charge-transfer dynamics in multichromophoric systems.
- Applying multiscale excited-state dynamics simulations to uncover the mechanisms of electron-induced damage to biological molecules.
- Developing GPU-accelerated multireference methods to enhance the accuracy of current electronic structure techniques for on-the-fly excited-state dynamics, focusing on photodamage in biologically relevant molecules.
This position is available immediately and is subject to immigration regulations or upon mutual agreement. Initially, the term is 12 months, with the possibility of extension. Terms of employment are comparable to NYU New York and other U.S. institutions.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should submit the following documents via Interfolio:
- A cover letter detailing research accomplishments and interests
- A curriculum vitae, including a list of publications
- Names and contact information of at least two references
Please also email Prof. William Glover at william.glover@nyu.edu to notify him of your application.
Last Date to Apply: Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
