The Theoretical Physical Chemistry Group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL) invites applications for a Ph.D. position in theoretical chemistry and chemical physics. The preferred start date is between January and August 2008. The successful candidate will use quantum-mechanical and semiclassical methods to explain physicochemical properties … [More Info]

General The group is working in diverse fields, ranging from the development of quantum chemical methods and software to electronic structure theory and computational chemistry. Method development focuses on density functional theory (DFT), relativistic effects, and surface-molecule interactions. The groups research has resulted in the well-known quantum chemical code ADF, which is used worldwide. Much … [More Info]

The project aims to address long-standing mechanistic disparities of the catalytic cycles (i.e., electron transfer; binding, transport, and activation of molecular oxygen; and the actual catalytic reactions) using state of the art theoretical methods. The combination of high level ab initio and DFT methods in combination with fast force field techniques (QM/MM) will be used … [More Info]

A PhD student position in synthetic organic chemistry directed towards design of novel compounds with potential functions as molecular electronics components is available in the group of Prof. Henrik Ottosson at the Department of Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry. The project will beside synthesis in organosilicon chemistry also include close interaction with computational chemists and physicists … [More Info]

Professor Michel Loreau is seeking a postdoc to work on theoretical aspects of the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in food webs. The successful candidate is expected to develop theoretical models within one of two projects: (1) a project on the relationships between biodiversity, food web structure and ecosystem functioning, with a focus on … [More Info]
