A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in the Crespo-Otero group (
https://crespootero.wordpress.com), to work on the project “Towards the Computational Design of Highly Emissive Organic-Single Crystals”.
Queen Mary is one of the top research-led universities in the UK and was ranked 9th among the UK multi-faculty universities in the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014). All postdoctoral researchers are part of the QMUL Doctoral College, which provides support with high-quality training and career development activities.
This research programme will focus on the development of computational chemistry strategies towards the design of efficient emissive organic single crystals with applications in solid-state lasers. The project involves the investigation of nonradiative mechanisms in model materials and the implementation of methods to consider excited state dynamics in the crystal environment.
The ideal candidate should have a PhD in computational chemistry, physics and/or materials science. Previous experience in code development is highly desirable. For specific details about the project, please email Dr Crespo-Otero (
[email protected]).
