A 3-year PhD position is opened in the group of Prof. M-P Gaigeot at the University of Evry-Paris (France). The project is funded by the ANR Internationale SPIONCLUS, a joint project between M-P. Gaigeot (France, theory) and J. Lisy (USA, experiments). The project consists in DFT-based molecular dynamics simulations of highly anharmonic ionic clusters, for understanding their dynamics, spectroscopy, and their formation through collisional and relaxation processes. The PhD student will get expertises into DFT-based MD and several of its applications, using both CPMD and CP2K packages. We seek a highly motivated and talented student graduated from either physics or chemistry and with a very good knowledge of theoretical chemistry. Prior knowledge in molecular dynamics (ab initio or classical) would be a plus. Knowledge and practise of a programmation langage (fortran, C, python, perl,...) is recommended. The deadline for applying is : 1st May 2012 Send a CV + motivation letter + names of 2 reviewers to [email protected] Starting date of PhD : October 2012 One review on the subject : M.-P. Gaigeot, Theoretical spectroscopy of floppy peptides at room temperature. A DFTMD perspective: gas and aqueous phase. Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 12:3336-59 (2010) And visit mpgaigeot-research.fr for more information Evry is located 45 minutes by train from central Paris via RER train line D. The university is only 2 minutes walk from the train station (Evry-Courcouronnes). Possibilities for housing in Evry at reduced prices through the University. --
