The Theoretical Chemistry group led by Lucas Visscher of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam has a vacancy for a PhD project on the development of new computational methods to study exciton quenching in OLED materials. This is part of the NWO-funded project SEQUOIA in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology, and the scientific software companies SCM and Simbeyond. In this PhD project focus will be on electronic structure methods, extending (time-dependent) Density Functional Theory methods and treatment of spin-orbit couplings for open-shell molecules. For this purpose, we’re looking for an outstanding MSc graduate with a strong background in theoretical chemistry or physics as well as experience with modern programming techniques.
