Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. William Glover at NYU Shanghai to be involved in developing multiphysics deep learning potentials and polarizable embedding methodology to simulate photoinduced charge-transfer dynamics in multichromophoric systems. The specifics of the project are to achieve linear scaling in the integral-exact direct reaction field (http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.3c01018), developed by our group, and combine it with deep learning models of the embedded electronic structure. The methodology will help address the role of low-lying charge-separated states in far-red light absorbing photosynthetic complexes. More details can be found at http://wp.nyu.edu/glover.
Research at NYU Shanghai is supported by the NYU-ECNU Center for Computational Chemistry (http://research.shanghai.nyu.edu/chemistry) and the Shanghai Frontiers Science Center for Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence (http://dail.shanghai.nyu.edu). These multidisciplinary centers promote pioneering and collaborative research across chemistry, biology, materials science, and data science.
NYU Shanghai’s (http://shanghai.nyu.edu/academics/faculty) terms of employment are comparable to NYU New York and other U.S. institutions.
*Qualifications*
Candidates should have the following qualifications:
o Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics or related fields by the position start date
o Experience with molecular/quantum dynamics
o Experience developing electronic structure code
o 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, deep-learning potentials.
The position is available immediately subject to immigration regulations or upon agreement. The position term is for 12 months initially, with the possibility of extension.
*About NYU Shanghai*
NYU Shanghai is the third degree-granting campus within New York University’s global network.
