Post-doc opening
A post-doc position related to development of computer simulation methodology will likely be opened during the spring 2012. A suitable background is PhD in computational / theoretical chemistry; experience in molecular dynamics simulations and quantum-chemical calculations; programming skill. Interested candidates are welcomed to send e-mail with CV, publication list and names of reference persons.
Information for students: Students of physical chemistry and related specialities (materials chemistry, quantum chemistry, biophysics, etc) are welcomed to apply for graduate research projects (examensarbete) in the field of molecular modeling and simulations. The content of the work may be discussed in each individual case.
