PhD Student Position@ Umeå University, Sweden in Theoretical Chemistry

Description: The department offers degrees at B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. levels, and our graduate- and postgraduate students are attractive for employment in academic institutions and industry.. This project is a further development of the energy migration theory which we developed about 10 years ago and is currently used to determine intra-molecular distances in proteins and bio- macromolecular systems.The PhD project is oriented towards the new description of the energy transfer process. The approach is also combined with time-resolved fluorescence experiments.

The project comprises:

- a fundamental knowledge in quantum mechanics
- the development of existing Fortran programs which are used in solving the stochastic Liouville equation in the frequency domain.
- the testing of a new theoretical description against experimental data.

Deadline:  31 January, 2011
