The Nano bio Spectroscopy Group and the local node of the ETSF 
invites applications for TWO postdoctoral positions and one PhD
position. (http://dipc.ehu.es/arubio)

The research projects will directly address fundamental problems related
to the  characterization of the electronic properties of complex
systems. Topics to be addressed are:

* Theoretical description of charge transport in molecular systems

* Quantum dots and nanotubes for quantum information applications.

* Nanostructured materials for photovoltaic devices

* Postdoc position on applications to complex systems with biological
interest: Our purpose is to understand the specific process of light
emission by the chromophore. This will allow us to extract information
about its “in-vivo” conformation and how its environment, inside the
protein, leads to changes in the emission  properties (color and
intensity). The latter problem suggests the investigation
of new ideas beyond present TDDFT/QM/MM implementations.  Our last
objective is  to pave the way for a completely new “divide and conquer”
strategy, with the aim of incorporating the dynamical coupling between
the optically active part of the protein, the protein itself, and the
surroundings (solvent, substratum, etc.)

The work will be conducted in close relation with the theoretical groups
of the NANOQUANTA network of Excellence (www.nanoquanta.eu) as well as
within the global framework of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy
Facility (ETSF) (http://etsf.eu)

Applicants must have, or expect to obtain before the start of the work,
a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline. A strong background in theoretical
condensed matter science, chemistry or biology and experience with
electronic structure methods are essential, and a knowledge of
bio-materials or biophysics is desirable. Good knowledge and experience
with DFT as well as in the development and implementation of numerical
approaches are highly appreciated.

We consider applications until the positions are filled. Please send
your application (either by e-mail or postal mail) as soon as possible
to
