Postdoc position modeling chromophore-surface interactions and electro-optical properties, University of California, Merced, USA

A postdoctoral position modeling chromophore aggregates and chromophore-surface interactions along with the electro-optical/nonlinear optical properties is available in the groups of Christine Isborn and Liang Shi in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Merced, USA. The position will involve force field parametrization,  simulating the structure and morphology of chromophores on surfaces, as well as the electronic and electro-optic properties of the chromophore aggregates. This project will involve working with experimentalists to determine optimal chromophore densities and structures for optimizing electro-optic properties. The postdoctoral scholar will be in charge of implementing and optimizing necessary code, as well as running electronic structure calculations. 

 

Interested candidates should email a CV and one page cover/motivation/background letter to cisborn@ucmerced.edu or lshi4@ucmerced.edu
