Résumé du poste

The University of Leeds is seeking a researcher with a background in computational chemistry or physics to join a UKRI/EPSRC funded project on Attochemistry of biomolecular building blocks. The role focuses on simulating chemical dynamics at the attosecond time scale and understanding rearrangements of chemical bonds in molecules, in collaboration with physicists.

The successful candidate will contribute to cutting-edge theory and simulations, with opportunities for personal development and

Qualifications

• Experience in computational chemistry or physics.
• Strong background in theoretical methods and simulations.

Responsabilités

• Develop and run simulations of chemical dynamics at attosecond timescales.
• Collaborate with physicists on bond rearrangements in molecules.
• Publish findings and contribute to grant-funded project.

Description du poste

This job is only available to University of Leeds staff. It may be released externally should we not appoint internally.

• Open only to current employees in the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Are you a researcher looking for a new challenge? Do you have background in Computational Chemistry or Physics? Do you have an experience in computational chemistry? Are you interested in ultrafast chemistry? In this project you will investigate chemistry on extremely fast time scale. In particularly you will work on understanding of rearrangements of chemical bonds in molecules, which happens on the attosecond time scale. Your research will be in collaboration with physicists. This position will be funded by UKRI/EPSRC grant Attochemistry of biomolecular building blocks. The project is focused on simulation of chemical dynamics at the time scale of chemical bond rearranging.
