PhD scholarship in Theoretical X-ray spectroscopy to unravel ultrafast electron relaxation pathways in functional molecules | Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby‐Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark | Technical University of Denmark

Position:	PhD scholarship in Theoretical X-ray spectroscopy to unravel ultrafast electron relaxation pathways in functional molecules
Institution:	Technical University of Denmark
Location:	Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby‐Taarbæk Municipality, Denmark
Duties:	The objective of the PhD project is the development and application of rigourous quantum chemical methods and simulation tools to predict and interpret the results of new time-resolved experiments investigating the relaxation mechanisms of functional molecules following electronic excitation and/or ionization. Experiments on selected functional molecules together with a number of experimental collaborators are an integral part of the project. Among the spectroscopic techniques of interest are steady-state and time-resolved x-ray absorption, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray emission, normal and resonant Auger-Meitner (AES/RAES) at different edges
Requirements:	You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree in chemistry or physics, preferably with a focus on theoretical and computational chemistry. A solid mathematical background and experience with quantum chemistry calculations, spectroscopy, programming in Fortran and/or C/C++ and/or Python are advantageous
