PhD student in Chemical Physics: Quantum Chemical Simulations of Light-Induced Pathways

Stockholm, Sweden
Closes today (Mar 2, 2026)

The Department of Physics at Stockholm University invites applications for a PhD position in Chemical Physics. The project focuses on light-induced homolysis of earth-abundant metal-substrate complexes and aims to unravel the mechanistic details of charge-transfer excitations and radical formation relevant to pharmaceutical synthesis. Research combines advanced quantum chemistry, non-equilibrium dynamics, molecular dynamics simulations, and spectrum simulations to model photo-induced chemical processes. The position offers international collaborations, conference presentations, and support for teaching and science communication skills, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Odelius within the Molecular Dynamics Quantum Chemistry group.

Type: PhD Field / Department: Chemical Physics; Quantum Chemistry; Molecular Dynamics; Photochemistry; Theoretical Physics
