Subject: 08.02.13 Open exchange PhD. student position; quantum chemistry modeling of zeolites; Prague, Czech Republic.
Open position for an exchange PhD. student. A position for an exchange PhD. student is available in the group of Dr. Stepan Sklenak (http://www.jh-inst.cas.cz/~sklenak) of the J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague, Czech Republic. The duration of the position is 6 months and the stay must be finished in 2008 due to funding restrictions (therefore the stay should not commence after July 1, 2008). The student will use a periodic DFT method implemented in the VASP program to model the structure, reactivity, catalytic activity and properties of zeolites. The methodology used will be the same as that published in our paper JPC C, 2007, 111, 9393. The work will be done in a close collaboration with experimentalists of the J. Heyrovsky Institute. Experience with either quantum chemistry (QM/MM) modeling of zeolites or with the VASP code (calculations of insulators) is very desirable. This is not a postdoctoral position. It is suitable for an individual who is a PhD. student at a university and would like to spend 6 months in our laboratory to gain more scientific experience. Interested individuals should send an e-mail containing their CV, summary of previous research and the name plus e-mail address of the PhD. study supervisor. The J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry is located in the beautiful and safe city of Prague (the capital of the Czech Republic). Prague offers outstanding opportunities for culture and entertainment. Stepan Sklenak, PhD. Senior Scientist and Purkyne Fellow Department of Theoretical Chemistry J.
