PhD position starting December 2011 in computational AMO physics / quantum chemistry (time-dependent many-electron theory, strong fields and attoscience) at Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark.

LONG DESCRIPTION:
A 3 or 4 years PhD position starting December 2011 is hereby announced at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University. It is possible to apply with a Bachelor’s degree after 4 years of study. In that case the PhD is 4 years (with the Master’s obtained after 2 years). If the applicant already has a Master’s degree in theoretical physics or chemistry, the PhD programme is 3 years.

The position is co-funded by an ERC project on time-dependent many-electron theory led by principal investigator Lars Bojer Madsen.
The current opening is within the topic of computational physics/computational quantum chemistry. The successful candidate will be involved in the formulation and implementation of time-dependent many-electron theory that treat the electron-electron interaction beyond the mean field, i.e., time-dependent density functional theory. Particular attention will be devoted to the description of the electronic continuum. The theory and numerical codes developed will be applied to timely problems in strong-field and attoscience. More information about the current activities of the principal investigator can be found at the home pages http://www.phys.au.dk/~bojer and http://www.phys.au.dk/ltc

The application procedure will be in 2 steps. In the first step applicants e-mail a pre-application to Secretary Grete Flarup (flarup@phys.au.dk). Applications must contain: 1) a curriculum vitae, 2) clear statements about experience with the development of numerical and computational techniques and 3) the names, affiliations and e-mail addresses of three references. The pre-applications will be reviewed by the principal investigator Lars Bojer Madsen. If successful, the applicant will proceed to step two in the procedure and submit a full application at the online system of the Aarhus Graduate School of Science (AGSoS) http://science.au.dk/en/studies/phd-studies/for-applicants/, where also salary and appointment terms are available.

The documents for the pre-application must be packed into a single pdf-file, and the application must be submitted before August 19, 2011. Please quote “AMO PhD Position” in the subject header of the email.
The applicants will be notified about the final decision within 2-3 weeks after the application deadline

Application Deadline : 19 August 2011
