A 4 year position as research fellow is available in molecular modelling at the Department of Chemistry.
The project, Electron structure studies of atomic and molecular clusters, is part of the recently established strategy for nano-science at the University of Bergen,
and the candidate will take part in a cross-disciplinary team having a common goal of
development and application of computational models for the study of nano-scale phenomena.
The project will proceed as a collaboration between the research groups of
Prof. Knut J. Boerve (http://www.kj. uib.no/personer/ nkjkb ),
Prof. Leif J. Saethre (http://www.kj. uib.no/personer/ nkjvj/), both at
Department of Chemistry,
Prof. Jan Petter Hansen (http://www.fi. uib.no/~janp/), Department of Physics
and Technology,
and dr. Nathalie Reuter (http://www.cbu. uib.no/research/ reuter/),
Computational Mathematics
Unit. This team covers expertise in electron spectroscopy as well as a broad
spectrum of
molecular-level computational methods.
Clusters are aggregates of a small and finite number of atoms or molecules. Their physical and chemical properties change with size, from atomlike to those of solid
matter. The PhD project involves the development of theoretical models of the geometric and electronic structure of clusters. Moreover, the successful candidate will take part in experimental studies of clusters by means of high-resolution electron spectroscopy. The measurements will be conducted at the National Swedish Synchrotron Radiation laboratory MAX-II in Lund, in close collaboration with the cluster physics group at the University of Uppsala.
Applicants must have achieved a masters degree or equivalent in chemistry or physics or have submitted the master thesis for assessment by the application deadline. It
is a prerequisite, however, that the examination results are announced within 4 weeks of the closing date for submitting the master thesis.
Applicants should have experience in molecular-level computational chemistry or physics, in particular in ab initio/first- principles- or force-field- calculations.
Experience from electron spectroscopy and cluster physics will be considered an advantage.
The successful candidate must meet the formal requirements for admission to the PhD
program of the University of Bergen, and is expected to achieve the PhD within a timeframe of 3 years. Project plans are to be worked out in collaboration with
Professor Knut J. Boerve and other researchers working on the project. A main theme in the PhD project is the development of theoretical model spectra for clusters, for use in assignment of the experimental electron spectra.
In total, the fellowship period is 4 years. For positions with a 4-year duration, 25 per cent of the period will be designated to teaching or administrative duties. The
fellowship period may be reduced if the successful applicant has held previous employment as a research fellow.
The teaching language will normally be Norwegian. Foreign candidates will be given the opportunity to learn Norwegian.
Starting salaries at level 41(code 1017) on the government salary scale (currently NOK 310,700 p.a.); following ordinary meriting regulations (wage levels 41/46).
The University of Bergen wishes to attain a more equal gender distribution for academic positions. Female applicants are thus strongly encouraged to apply. If
several applicants are equally qualified for the position, the internal rules for gender quotas for academic positions will be applied.
Electronic application and CV are to be sent via the link apply for this position. Th
application should include a statement of motivation and the names and contact details of 3 contact persons (referees).
Copies of exams (bachelor and master), certificates and scientific works including a list of publications (all in three copies/sorted in three identical bundles) should
be sent to the Department of Chemistry, University of Bergen, Allgaten 41, NO-5007 Bergen, Norway.
The applications should be marked 06/4947.
