Advanced PhD Position in Theoretical Chemistry

vor 4 Wochen


Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz University of Zurich Vollzeit

Project Overview

The PhD project will focus on developing novel, accurate approaches for studying functional catalytic compounds. This may involve the development of advanced dynamic methods for detailed and realistic reaction mechanism and reaction network studies, taking into account environmental effects under catalytic conditions. Enhanced sampling and machine learning approaches may also be explored.

Our Group

Our research group has extensive experience in modeling reactions using DFT-MD, catalysis, spectroscopy, excited states, and developing various methodologies, such as those in the CP2K package.

Collaboration and Funding

The project may be carried out in collaboration with experimental or other computational groups, potentially within the NCCR catalysis. Funding for participation in conferences, summer schools, and other events is available.

Requirements and Offer

We seek a highly motivated and creative candidate with a strong background in chemistry, interdisciplinary natural sciences, or physics. Proficiency in programming and knowledge of electronic structure theory, molecular dynamics, catalysis, and machine learning are essential. The successful candidate will be based in a vibrant and inspiring environment with access to cutting-edge resources and research opportunities.
