Subject: <STRONG>08.04.10 Postdoc position in theoretical organic chemistry, Uppsala University, Sweden</STRONG><br />

<pre>A one-year postdoctoral position in theoretical organic chemistry is 
available in the group of Prof. Henrik Ottosson at the Department of 
Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry at Uppsala University, Sweden. 
The preferred start date is during summer 2008, and the position is 
funded by the Carl Trygger foundation through a fellowship, exempted 
from tax, of approximately 23 000 euro/year. 

The research projects of the postdoc will involve quantum chemical 
calculations of the lowest singlet and triplet excited states of 
fulvenes and substituted olefins in the context of excited state 
aromaticity (see e.g. JACS 2004, 126, 13928; J. Org. Chem. 2005, 70, 9495; 
Chem. Eur. J. 2007, 13, 6998; and ChemPhysChem 2008, 9, 257). One aim of 
the project is to predict and design fulvenes with a broad range of 
singlet-triplet energy gaps, another aim is to enhance the understanding 
of how excited state aromaticity connects to the profile of the excited 
state potential energy surface for olefin Z/E-photoisomerization. Good 
familiarity with quantum chemical calculations of electronically excited 
states is therefore highly desirable. 

The project will be carried out in close collaboration with 
experimentalists. A suitable candidate therefore has a theoretical 
background, however, has a wish and ability to interact in a larger 
multidisciplinary environment.</pre>
<pre>Applications to the position should be sent by email to Dr. Henrik 
Ottosson, and should besides CV, publications list, and contact 
information of three reference persons, also contain a brief description 
of the applicant's future vision. 

Note that the position needs to be filled urgently. The announcement 
may therefore be closed prior to the deadline (May 12) in case a good 
candidate has been found.
