OPENINGS
Graduate student positions and Post-doctoral positions in theoretical and computational chemistry:
Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, Canada.
Preference will be given to applicants from the physics/chemistry disciplines.
A number of projects are available to prospective graduate students. Interested students can contact me directly.
A formal application to Graduate Admissions will also have to be made.
A postdoctoral position is available immediately.
The position will be offered initially for one year,
with the possibility of extension beyond that subject to mutual satisfaction.
Topics:
Topics:
- Non-equilibrium quantum dissipative systems: Developing real-time (NRG, path integrals) numerically exact approaches for the study of the dynamics of quantum dissipative systems in steady state situations.
- Developing theories and numerical approaches for describing energy flow in molecules, both at the quantal and classical levels. Molecular dynamics simulation will involve study of structure-function relationship and cross thermo-diffusion effects.
- Quantum control: Developing model systems for the study of quantum dynamics in external fields. We would like to understand transport, relaxation and synchronization in spin-bath systems, spin-boson and spin-fermion models.
