PhD in Electronic-Structure Theory

Introduction

Are you fascinated by the quantum dynamics of electrons? Do you want to contribute to the development of a novel theoretical framework for accurately simulating how electrons respond to external perturbations? Come join us!

Job Description

The Computational Quantum and Molecular Dynamics group in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) invites applications for a PhD position in electronic-structure theory. The project focuses on the development of new theoretical frameworks for describing electronic dynamics in atoms, molecules, and materials, with particular emphasis on time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT).

Understanding how electrons evolve in time is central to modern science and technology, from photochemistry and catalysis to quantum materials and nanoscale electronic devices. While TDDFT has become the main computational tool for simula...
