College Scholarships PhD Studentship for Theoretical Chemistry at Radboud University, Nijmegen Medical Centre Netherlands
Candidate must have programming experience
Study Subject: Chemistry
Employer: Radboud University, Nijmegen Medical Centre
College Scholarships Level: PhD
Job Description: The aim of this project is to compute cross sections and rate coefficients for vibration-rotation inelastic collisions of molecules. You will use quantum scattering methods and develop more efficient algorithms. You will also compute intermolecular potentials using high-level ab initio methods. The research is funded by NWO (www.nwo.nl/astrochemistry) and is part of the Gas-Phase Astrochemistry Theme. Infrared radiation emitted by molecules such as CO, CO2, H2O, and HCN is observed by ground-based telescopes such as the Very Large Telescope of the European Southern Observatory or space-based telescopes such as the Spitzer space telescope and the Herschel Space Observatory. To extract information about planet and star formation, rates of collisions between these molecules and He, H, and H2 are required. The collisions are studied experimentally in our Institute for Molecules and Materials in Dave Parker’s group. In this project you will collaborate with experimental physicists and astrochemists.
Requirements
You should have:
- an MSc degree in Chemistry, Physics, or a related field;
- programming experience;
- a good command of written and spoken English.
