Kelompok Theoretical Chemistry, Universitas Hasselt, Belgia mencari kandidat S3 untuk mengisi posisi “Theoretical Chemistry / Chemical Physics”. Kandidat diharuskan membuat tesis kerangka kerja proyek penelitian dengan judul “From Orbital Imaging to Molecular Quantum Similarity in Momentum Space”. Proyek ini di danai oleh Universitas Hasselt dan The Fund for scientific Research _ Flanders.

Aplikasi untuk posisi tersebut dibuka hingga 1 Juli 2009.

Within the research Group Theoretical Chemistry of Hasselt University, the following position (m / f) is available:

PhD Theoretical Chemistry / Chemical Physics (2×2 years)
(mandate SBG/2009/001)

The candidate will prepare a PhD thesis within the framework of a project entitled “From orbital imaging to molecular quantum similarity in momentum space” (financial support by the Fund for scientific Research _ Flanders and the University of Hasselt). The first goal of the project is to develop and apply theoretical methods for quantitative interpretations of advanced “orbital imaging” experiments employing Electron Momentum Spectroscopy (EMS), taking into into account conformational mobility as well as electron correlation and relaxation – EMS is a powerful technique which enables straightforward determinations of orbital momentum densities from an angular analysis of electron-impact ionization & scattering cross-sections. A second aspect of the project pertains to the calculation from these densities of new criteria of molecular similarity, of relevance for the pharmaceutical industry, and of efficient descriptors of the chemical reactivity, in collaboration with the division of quantum chemistry at the University of Ghent (Prof. P. Bultinck). This proposed research project is a continuation of a PhD thesis that has been awarded by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemists.

Diploma

Academic license (4 years), master (5 years) of equivalent diploma (bvb. DEA) in chemistry, physics, or materials sciences, or civil engineering in chemistry, physics, or materials sciences. Students who will complete their study this year can also apply.

Offer

Scholarship for a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry / Chemical Physics within the research group of Michael S. Deleuze (awards by the World Association of Theoretically Oriented Chemists and by the Royal Flemisch Academy of Belgium for Sciences and Arts). The scholarship is available for a period of 4 years. It consists of a first appointment of 2 years, followed by a prolongation of 2 years unless negative evaluation of the first period. The scholarship is subject to social security.
