This project aims to shed new light on fundamental electronic processes in single molecular systems by the application of state-of-the-art modelling in collaboration with experimental work. We will apply the linear-scaling ab initio code CONQUEST and Correlated Electron-Ion Dynamics formalism (CEID) to systems being investigated experimentally in the IRC at Bristol , Cambridge and UCL. The longer term aim is to create a connected set of related projects which can feed into and support each other. The objectives will be: to understand the transport properties of molecular wires, poly-rotaxanes (insulated molecular wires) and biomolecules, in particular the conduction mechanisms and the effects of interactions with an environment; to enhance and make available a powerful tool for investigating the properties of semiconducting polymers in complex environments, by implementing mixed basis sets, embedding and CEID into CONQUEST. The post is for up to two and a half years subject to successful probation. The starting salary will be £24,886 plus £2,400 pa London Allowance. PhD and research experience in Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science or Quantum Chemistry is required. Previous extensive experience in studying materials properties using quantum mechanical methods and atomistic simulations and ability for scientific programming are essential. The appointee's duties will include a small amount of teaching for the Department. Enquiries should be addressed to Dr David Bowler (david.bowler-at-ucl.ac.uk).
