Postdoctoral Researcher in Physical Chemistry
København Ø
Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen is seeking an exceptional Postdoctoral Fellow to spearhead research in Physical Chemistry focusing on atmosphere-relevant gas-phase reaction kinetics.
Job description
As a Postdoc fellow in our department, you will focus on the intricacies of atmospheric chemistry, exploring the thermal dynamic reaction profiles and kinetic parameters of molecular and radical reactions. Employing state-of-the-art computational methodologies, including first-principle methods like couple-cluster or multi-reference configuration interaction approach, and kinetic approaches such as multi-conformer and variational transition state theory, you will, in collaboration with experiments, advance our understanding of Earth's atmosphere and the atmosphere of other celestial bodies.
Qualification Requirements
Research Environment
You will be part of the research group led by Prof. Henrik G. Kjaergaard, in physical chemistry at KU. With access to state-of-the-art facilities and international collaborations, you will have the opportunity to thrive in an environment that fosters innovation and collaboration.
The postdoc’s duties will include research within Physical Chemistry as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
Further information on the Department is linked at http://www.science.ku.dk/english/about-the-faculty/organisation/. Inquiries about the position can be made to Pernille Harris.
The position is open from 1/9/2024or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of employment
The position is a fixed-term position for 2 years. The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff.
Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State.
Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
