Research Studentship in Simulation of Molecular Nanowires

A student with strong interest in electronic structure theory and with a background in quantum physics or quantum chemistry is sought. Background or familiarity with scientific computing is an advantage.

The project addresses many-electron methods as applied to design of molecular and nanoscale electronic devices. The goal of the the project is to understand electron-electron interactions from a full quantum mechanical treatment for single molecule electronics, and then to devise approximations allowing treatment of more complex electron devices on the 5 to 10 nm length scale.

Positions are available immediately through funding provided by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the successful applicant will work with a team of researchers developing quantum mechanical descriptions for future electron devices. Additional opportunities exist through the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and technology's PhD scholarship programme: http:\\www.ircset.ie
