PhD opening in theoretical chemistry and physics

Applications are invited for a PhD position in the group of Dr. 
Katarzyna Pernal in  the Institute of Physics, Technical University 
of Lodz, Poland. The position is linked to a project “Accurate 
description of intermolecular interaction energies from extended 
random phase approximation” operated within the Foundation for Polish 
Science "Pomost Programme" co-financed by the European Regional 
Development Fund. The project will be conducted in collaboration with
Laboratoire de Chimie Théorique, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 
Paris.

The position is in the field of theoretical/computational chemistry 
and physics. The project involves development and coding of new 
quantum chemistry methods based on extensions of random phase 
approximations. The new methods will be employed in describing 
molecular systems with noncovalent interactions. Additionally, new 
methods will be developed to obtain excitation energies.

REQUIREMENTS
* Full university degree (Master Degree or equivalent) in Theoretical/
Quantum Chemistry or Theoretical/Computational Physics (candidates 
expecting to receive their M.Sc. degree till the end of June are 
encourage to apply as well)
• Good knowledge of quantum chemistry/physics methods.
• Programming skills.
• Strong mathematical background.
• Fluent spoken and written English.
