Ph.D. positions in quantum chemistry

A genuine interest in quantum chemistry and electronic-structure theory is paramount.

Applicants should hold a master degree in chemistry or physics or an equivalent degree.

A good command of basic mathematics, in particular linear algebra, and quantum mechanics is required. 

Good programming skills (preferably C++) are highly desirable.

Experience with quantum-chemical calculations, especially coupled-cluster theory, is desirable, but not necessarily required. 

Proficiency in spoken and written English is required.

Projects can be tailored to fit the expertise, scientific background, and interest of the successful applicants.

The successful candidates will work on the development, implementation, and application of new quantum-chemical methods that are needed to interpret spectroscopies involving two or more unbound electrons. This requires an evenhanded treatment of singly-excited and doubly-excited states. With the new methods,...
