Sweden: DOCTORAL STUDENTSHIP IN THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY

Deadline: 28 Dec. 2012

Type of employment: Limit of tenure, Four years 
Extent: 100 % 
Location: Department of Chemistry, Division of Theoretical Chemistry, Lund 
First day of employment: As soon as possible 
Official Records Number: NPA 2012/716

Job assignments

PhD-studies in theoretical chemistry focused on quantum chemical calculations of photoinduced processes in nanostructured materials and molecular systems. An objective of the work is to use computational chemistry calculations to achieve an enhanced theoretical understanding of fundamental processes for solar energy conversion, such as e.g. heterogeneous electron transfer, in functional materials. The work will be conducted at the Division of Theoretical Chemistry within the Chemistry Department of Lund University in close collaboration with experimental research groups in chemistry and physics. 

Eligibility/Entry Requirements

Students with basic eligibility for third-cycle studies are those who- have completed a second-cycle degree- have completed courses of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits are from second-cycle courses, or- have acquired largely equivalent knowledge in some other way, in Sweden or abroad.Special eligibility requirements comprise knowledge from first-cycle studies or the equivalent, but can also refer to special professional experience. Additionally, sufficient knowledge of the subject area is required for third-cycle studies.Students meeting special eligibility requirements are those who have- at least 60 higher education credits within the same subject area as the third-cycle studies, of which in-depth work of at least 30 higher education credits of relevance to the subject area- a Swedish medical degree or Swedish certification as a doctor.

Special requirements for this position: MSc in chemistry or physics or corresponding competence. Knowledge of nanoscience, theoretical chemistry, chemical physics and solid state physics is meritorious.
