Category: Research
Location: HUNTER COLLEGE

Job Description

General Description

Postdoctoral fellowship in Neepa Maitra's group at Hunter College CUNY, to work on NSF and DOE-funded projects in time-dependent density functional theory and coupled electron-ion dynamics. The projects involve fundamental development of exchange-correlation functionals for non-perturbative dynamics and excitations, and development of the exact factorization approach to coupled dynamics for photo-excited or laser-driven non-adiabatic dynamics in molecules. 

Other Duties

Help to mentor undergraduate and graduate students; help with computer system administration; occasionally cover teaching class when the PI is traveling. 

Qualifications

PhD in Physics or Chemistry essential, with some experience in either time-dependent density functional theory or non-adiabatic electron-ion dynamics is strongly desirable.
