-===== Research Associate: Molecular Dynamics of Hydrothermal Solutions [ posted: 2016-12-06, status: Open] =====
+======= PhD student position in theoretical spectroscopy at University of Zurich [posted: 2017-11-24] =====
+A 4-year PhD position is available in the Department of Chemistry at University of Zurich (Switzerland).
+**About the project**
+Our group focuses on forefront computational methods and applications at the interface of chemistry, biology, physics, and materials science.
+The research topic of the project deals with development and application of novel approaches in the field of spectroscopy with focus on highly accurate and computationally efficient methods. This will allow unprecedented new insight into e.g. functional liquids and systems for artificial solar light-driven water splitting. The project will be carried out in collaboration with experimental groups, for instance of the university research priority program “Solar Light to Chemical Energy Conversion” (www.lightchec.uzh.ch). Methods used will mainly encompass static and dynamic ab initio approaches. For further information, please contact Prof. Sandra Luber (email: sandra.luber@chem.uzh.ch).
+**Candidate Requirements**
+The candidate must hold a Master’s degree in chemistry, physics, or related, and have profound English skills. The successful candidate will be creative, ambitious, and highly motivated. Strong programming skills and good knowledge about electronic structure theory and molecular dynamics are an advantage. We offer an inspiring environment with cutting-edge resources, access to world-leading supercomputers, and high-profile interdisciplinary collaborations.
+**Applications**
+Interested applicants are encouraged to send their application documents (cover letter, CV, diploma, description of research experience and motivation, names of at least two academic references) as one pdf document per e-mail to Prof. Sandra Luber (email: sandra.luber@chem.uzh.ch). Start date: immediately or upon agreement.

 The School of Earth Sciences seeks a Senior Research Associate in the field geochemistry and physical chemistry. The researcher will be part of a three-year NERC funded project that sets out to predict and understand metal complexation in hydrothermal fluids using first-principles molecular dynamics simulations (using CP2K).  From these simulations, we hope to develop thermodynamic models for the complexation of the post-transition metals Pb, Sn, In and Ga from 0-1000C, 1-5kb.  These models will enable the earth science community to perform reactive-transport simulations of a variety of ore-forming environments to understand the geochemical controls on ore-deposition formation. The work from this project will also enable the development of hydrometallalurgical extraction technologies.   The researcher will have access to the supercomputing facilities at Bristol and also be able to interact with the experimental group in the school of Earth Sciences.  We intend to also develop collaborative work with several industrial partners in the mining and metal-processing sector.
