A 12 months post-doctoral position is opening at the Ecole Nationale 
Superieure de Chimie de Paris (Paris, France) in the group of 
Prof. Carlo Adamo.
The successful candidate will work on the ab-initio modeling of excited state
 and magnetic properties in photomagnetic molecular systems (PMMDs) within 
the framework of the French ANR project NEXUS. Within this project, he/she 
will firstly deal with the theoretical characterization of parent 
photochemical molecular devices (PMDs) applying standard Density Functional 
Theory (for ground state properties) and Time Dependent DFT (for the excited
 state) based methods.
Next, in order to study the magnetic coupling within PMMDs, implementation 
of methods in locally available quantum-chemistry codes is planned. 
As a consequence, good programming skills (Fortran and/or C) are required.
A good knowledge of DFT and TD-DFT and previous experience in their 
application to large organometallic systems is compulsory. Previous 
experience with post-HF methods and/or in the modeling of photochemical 
or magnetic molecular systems will be considered as a plus.
