Postdoctoral position in quantum chemistry
We are looking for a postdoctoral associate with strong background in quantum chemistry and method development to work in the group of Dr. Libor Veis at J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry in Prague.
The successful candidate will be involved in development, implementation, and application of DMRG-based electronic structure methods for molecules with strongly correlated electrons. In particular, he/she will focus on scalable implementation of the multiconfigurational adiabatic connection approach for dynamic correlation within the DMRG model, and/or DFT embedding of DMRG calculations.
The initial contract period will be for 1 year with a possible extension to up to 3 years and with the possibility of research stays in collaborating groups (Poland, USA).
Starting date: January 2024 (can be negotiated)
