英国利兹大学博士后职位招聘—理论固态化学

Research Fellow in Ab Initio Quasi-Harmonic Lattice Dynamics and Theoretical Spectroscopy

University of Leeds

Job Description

Are you a expert in ab initio lattice-dynamics calculations? Would you like to be part of a team that does both experiments and theoritical work on pharamaceuticals?

Having a theoretical understanding of the solid form – the polymorphic state as well as the surface of the particles – is key to controlling pharmaceutical process.  It provides great insight into the structure-property relationships and helps validate experimental observations of phenomena such as phase transitions.

In this project, you will develop high-throughput methodologies to improve our understanding of polymorphic phase transitions in small-molecule organics. As part of the team, you will be funded by the Royal Society and you will get the chance to engage with our industrial collaborators. You will also be responsible in co-ordinating the theoretical and experimental work done by the team and write high quality publications.

Holding a PhD (or have submitted your thesis before taking up the role) in theoretical solid-state chemistry or a closely allied discipline; you will strong background in ab initio quasi-harmonic lattice dynamics calculations using density functional theory (DFT).
