Postdoctoral Position in Theoretical Chemical Physics: WAKE FOREST UNIVERSITY

Small in size. Big in resources. Tall among national universities.
Wake Forest, located in Winston-Salem, NC, provides the intimacy and
personal attention characteristic of America’s most selective private
institutions. A postdoctoral position in THEORETICAL CHEMICAL PHYSICS is available with Professor A. Salam at Wake Forest University. The successful
candidate will develop and apply methods for the investigation of
radiation-molecule and molecule-molecule interactions.

Current projects include:
i) The use of analytical time-dependent perturbation theory,
rotating-wave approximation, and exact numerical techniques within
semi-classical radiation theory to study single- and multi-photon
absorption in chiral molecules and aspects of its related coherent
control.
ii) The development and application of the theory of molecular quantum
electrodynamics to multi-photon absorption and emission processes,
optical activity and chiroptical phenomena, nonlinear and quantum
optics, and retarded intermolecular forces.

Applicants must have a strong background in theoretical chemistry
and/or atomic, molecular and optical physics. Experience with
scientific programming using Fortran and/or C/C++, and in the use of
electronic structure software packages is desirable, though not
essential. The initial appointment is for one year with possible
extension dependent upon satisfactory performance and availability of
funds.

Wake Forest University is a highly selective, private university
located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with excellent facilities
and resources. Interested candidates should apply online at: http://www.wfu.edu/hr/careers
