Postdoc position, modeling polariton nonadiabatic molecular dynamics, University of California, USA (Deadline: 02.04.2025)

A postdoctoral position modeling nonadiabatic dynamics, polariton chemistry, and exciton-polariton optical properties is available in the group of Christine Isborn in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Merced, USA. The position will involve simulating the generation, evolution, and fate of electronic excitations and the resulting spectroscopic signatures for molecules in complex environments. This project will involve working with experimentalists to model optical and vibrational properties of chromophores strongly coupled to light. The postdoctoral scholar will be charge of implementing and optimizing necessary code in python to expand our nonadiabatic MD package to polaritonic systems, as well as running electronic structure calculations.
