Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. William Glover at NYU Shanghai. A range of projects are available related to the excited-state dynamics of complex systems, including (i) developing multistate-multiphysics deep learning potentials and polarizable embedding methodology to simulate photoinduced charge-transfer dynamics in multichromophoric systems, such as photosynthetic reaction centers [ doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.3c01018 , doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2022-mkfzd ] . (ii) Applying multiscale excited-state dynamics simulations to unravel the mechanisms of electron-induced damage to biological molecules [ doi.org/10.1021/jacs.2c07572 , doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-5kl9x ]. (iii) Developing GPU-accelerated multireference methods to improve the accuracy and robustness of current state-of-the-art electronic structure for on-the-fly excited-state dynamics, with applications to the photodamage of biologically relevant molecules [ doi.org/10.1063/1.5130997 , doi.org/10.1063/5.0058673]. More details can be found at wp.nyu.edu/glover .
Research at NYU Shanghai is supported by the Center for Computational Chemistry, a research institute operated jointly by NYU, NYU Shanghai, and East China Normal University [ research.shanghai.nyu.edu/chemistry ] . Center members conduct frontier research across theoretical/computational chemistry, biology, and materials science. The center fosters academic exchange with regular seminars and annual workshops.
The position is available immediately subject to immigration regulations or upon agreement. The position term is for 12 months initially, with possibility of extension.
Terms of employment at NYU Shanghai are comparable to NYU New York and other U.S. institutions.
Candidates should have the following qualifications:
Ph.D. in Chemistry or Physics or related fields by the position start date
Experience with molecular/quantum dynamics
Experience developing theoretical chemistry software (quantum chemistry and/or classical/quantum dynamics)
Strong command of written and spoken English
The ideal candidate will also have expertise in one or more of the following: excited-state electronic structure methods, analytical gradient theory, non-adiabatic dynamics, polarizable embedding, deep learning potentials.
Applications will be reviewed until the position is filled. To be considered, applicants should submit a cover letter with a brief description of research accomplishments and interests, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and the names and contact information of at least two references via Interfolio.
Please also email william.glover@nyu.edu to notify him of your application.
