Dear colleagues,
Would you please forward to interested undergraduate and masters students the following info about PhD studentships in theoretical/computational chemistry?
The groups of Wiliam Glover and Xiang Sun are accepting applications for PhD positions at NYU Shanghai. Potential research topics include:
Glover Group (https://wp.nyu.edu/glover/)
- Development of neural network potentials for photochemistry in complex environments
- Development of polarizable embedding methods for photochemistry
- Nonadiabatic simulations of UV-initiated photophysics/chemistry in fluorescent proteins
- Quantum chemistry methods for electronic excited states
- Theoretical studies of the mechanisms of photosynthesis and DNA damage
- Ab initio simulations of the ultrafast dynamics of low-energy electron-induced chemistry
Sun Group (https://wp.nyu.edu/xiangsun/)
- Theoretical studies of photoinduced charge and energy transfer dynamics in complex condensed phase
- Multi-electronic-state model development for complex condensed matter
- Ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopy of liquid solutions
- Path-integral-based methodology for quantum dynamics
- Machine-learning for nonadiabatic dynamics in open quantum systems
- Application to photovoltaic solar energy conversion materials
The deadline for the application is December 1st, 2025, for a Fall 2026 start date. Interested students can learn more about our program (and find application instructions) at https://shanghai.nyu.edu/page/chemistry-phd-program.
There will be an online info session on October 27th at 9pm China Standard Time. RSVP: https://nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9tbMqvNuojdg2PQ
