Post Doctoral Fellowships in Theory of Inner Shell Processes Induced by X-ray Free Electron Lasers, London
Post Doctoral Fellowships,Theory of Inner Shell Processes Induced by X-ray Free Electron Lasers,London,UK
Job Description: Applications are invited for a 24 month Research Associate position funded by the EPSRC Grant “Theory of Electronic Processes in Molecules Subject to Intense X-ray Radiation: Towards Single-Molecule X-ray Diffraction Spectroscopy” under the supervision of Dr V Averbukh.
The successful candidate will develop first principles theoretical and computational methods for the study of inner-shell electronic processes and apply them to model the interaction of X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) radiation with molecules and clusters. A particular emphasis will be done on the time-domain description of ultrafast electronic decay phenomena. Computational tools of ab initio quantum chemistry, such as Green’s function methods, will be used to model various physical scenarios relevant for the XFEL physics, for example Auger electron trapping by a strongly charged molecule or cluster. The project aims at understanding the many-electron dynamics in XFEL-driven polyatomic systems. The outcome of the project will have a direct impact on the XFEL experiments planned at the Quantum Optics and Laser Science Group at Imperial College London as well as by external collaborators and is expected to contribute decisively to understanding of the radiation damage mechanisms in molecule-XFEL interaction.
The candidate should have (or be about to complete) a PhD in theoretical physics, chemistry, or an equivalent level of professional qualifications and experience in another related field. Expertise in one of the following specific areas is essential:
* Computational techniques of ab initio quantum chemistry, including direct methods, resolution of identity technique, iterative methods for large matrix diagonalization, etc.
* Many-body theory of atomic and molecular inner-shell processes, such as inner-shell photoionization and photoexcitation, Auger decay, etc.
Track record in constructing advanced electronic structure computer code using FORTRAN 90 or C++ is also essential. Experience with parallel computing would be considered an advantage.
