Subject: Postdoc announcement
Dear Colleagues,
Several postdoctoral positions are immediately available my group. The research topics
include
(A) Excited State Dynamics in Nanoscale Materials.
Time-domain, atomistic simulation of excitation and electron transfer, electron-phonon
relaxation, spin dynamics and related processes on nanoscale, including molecule-bulk
interfaces, semiconducting and metallic quantum dots, carbon nanotubes and graphene
nanoribbons, as motivated by photovoltaics, molecular electronics, spintronics, ultrafast
spectroscopies, DNA sequencing, laser therapies, etc.
(B) Non-Adiabatic Molecular Dynamics and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory.
Development and implementation of NAMD and TDDFT algorithms with the aim at the
applications described in (A). Fundamental aspects of semiclassical physics, coupling of
quantum and classical (or semiclassical) dynamics, system-bath interactions.
(C) Forces in Biology.
Phenomenological modeling and molecular dynamics simulation of force-induced processes in
biology as studied by atomic-force microscopy, optical tweezers and related experiments.
Biological catch-bond.
Please, ask interested candidates to submit their CVs, including a list of references to
