Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate position funded by The University of Manchester is available to undertake research in the field of molecular magnetism in the multidisciplinary Chilton group in the Department of Chemistry. The project concerns theoretical determination of exchange coupling in single-molecule magnets based on f-elements, and calculation of magnetic relaxation rates from ab initio calculations.
You should have, or be working towards, a PhD or equivalent in chemistry, physics or related subject. Expertise in multi-configurational electronic structure theory is essential. Experience in molecular magnetism is desirable. High quality training will be provided in the computational techniques and background theory where needed. You should be capable of working under your own initiative and leading a junior research team, so excellent communication and organisational skills are also required.
The start date is as soon as possible and the position is available for 24 months
