Doctoral position in theoretical chemistry: Sweden

Highlights:

1. The main subject of this PhD project is multi-configurational electron structure theory and methods.
2. The application of multi-configurational methods to the study of enzymatic catalysis, photo chemical processes, luminescence and hydrogen gas storage is a part of the project.
3. The application part of the project and their interpretation is of equal importance as compared to the method developments.
4. A successful candidate should have a master of science in chemistry or physics. Limitations in the candidates CV with respect to chemistry, physics or mathematics will be compensated for through the individual study plan established after being accepted to the project. Knowledge in developments of algorithms, numerical methods and program development are key merits. In case two candidates are judged to be equal the quality of the master thesis will be of significance. The candidate should have good communication skills, excellent grades and developed abilities in written and spoken English.
