Openings

Postdoctoral Researchers

We are looking for two motivated postdoctoral scholars (one is supported by Liyun program) to perform research on the following topics:

· accurate electronic-structure theory for strongly correlated molecular systems

· developing tools to enable non-adiabatic dynamics simulations

· machine learning in electronic-structure theory

· A Ph.D. in theoretical/computational chemistry or molecular/condensed matter physics

· See here (in Chinese) for the requirements of Liyun program.

· Experience in developing electronic-structure methods or non-adiabatic dynamics

· Programming experience in C/C++ or Python

· Familiar with Linux shell and LaTex

Please send me an email at chenyang.li [at] bnu [dot] edu [dot] cn with the following attached.

· A CV with publication list

· A cover letter describing your research interests and past work (no more than two pages in English)

· Two references for potential recommendation letters

Graduate Students

We are always looking for highly motivated graduate students in theoretical and computational chemistry. Prospective students are encouraged to contact me directly via email.

· Solid background in linear algebra and quantum mechanics

· Experience in using computational chemistry/physics packages

· Experience in C/C++ or Python

· Familiar with Linux shell and LaTex

· Apply established packages (e.g, Psi4, ORCA, PySCF, etc.) to discover/solve chemistry problems

· Derive and implement electronic-structure methods

· Computer programming

· Scientific writing

· Data analysis and visualization

· and many more …

Please send me an email at chenyang.li [at] bnu [dot] edu [dot] cn with the following attached.

· An academic transcript

· A statement describing your research experience and interests, including past programming experience or projects. If you have no research experience, please write an overview of your dissertation, explaining how you came up with the idea and how you performed the experiments. (at most 2 pages)

· A statement describing your future plans during and after the doctoral/master program (1 page)

· Scores for English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS/CET-6/CET-4)

Undergraduate Students

If you are interested in performing research on computational/theoretical chemistry or finishing a dissertation under my supervision, please feel free to send me an email or drop by my office at Room K308 of the chemistry building.
