**Your role**:
The Theoretical Chemical Physics (TCP) group led by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko aims at the development of novel and efficient methodologies to address fundamental and challenging phenomena at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and biology.

This is achieved by combining first-principles quantum methods and coarse-grained statistical approaches, and through the development of novel mathematical and computational techniques.

Our group includes physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and computer scientists, and maintains collaborations with many leading researchers across the world.
- Structural and dynamical properties of van der Waals systems
- Wavefunction development and electronic correlations
- Embedding approach to extend the accuracy of QMC to large systems with thousands of atoms

**Your profile**:

- Master degree (or equivalent degree) in Chemistry, Physics, Material Science or Computational Science
- Knowledge of QMC methods or quantum Chemistry methods, such as Hartree-Fock, Configuration Interaction, Coupled Cluster, Perturbation Theories, or density functional theory (DFT), applied to molecular or periodic systems. Alternatively, also experience in Classical Force-Fields and Molecular Dynamics will be considered positively
- Experience in programming with C and/or Fortran (knowledge of MPI and/or OpenMP protocols would be a plus)
- Experience in bash and/or Python scripting
- Good command of written and spoken English

**We offer**:

- Multilingual and international character. Modern institution with a personal atmosphere. Staff coming from 90 countries. Member of the “University of the Greater Region” (UniGR)

- A dynamic and well-equipped research environment within the Department of Physics and Materials Science
- Intensive training in scientific and transferable skills, participation in schools, conferences, and workshops
- A social, collaborative, and helpful environment for researchers with different backgrounds and skills

**How to apply**:

- Applications should include:_
- Motivation letter including answers to the following questions: What are your research interests and why? Why do you want to obtain a Ph.D. degree?; Why would you be interested in the TCP group? What do you think are the soft and/or hard skills with which you will contribute to the group?
