Postdoctoral positions are available in the Institute of Atomic and
Molecular Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.

A Ph.D degree in physical chemistry, chemical physics or physics is
required. Candidates with experience in computational methods, quantum
chemistry calculations, or molecular dynamics simulation are welcomed. The
main theme performed is to understand structure and dynamics of water in
gas, solid, liquid phases and various interfaces. Some of the preferred
directions are:
1. Theoretical Modeling of sum frequency generation spectroscopy of liquid
water interfaces.
2. Development of theoretical methods to calculate properties of water in
confined environment such as nanoporous material.
3. Molecular Dynamics Simulations to investigate structure and
dynamics of water on semi-conductor surfaces.
4. Theoretical simulation to understand the atomic microscopy image
obtained for lipid surface in aqueous phase.
5. Performing quantum chemistry calculations and dynamics simulation for
H-bonded clusters.

We have collaborations with experimental/theoretical groups in Taiwan
(Academia Sinica, National Taiwan University, National Tsing Hua
University), USA (MIT, Berkeley, CU Boulder), Japan (Tohoku, RIKEN),
Singapore (Nanyang Techonological University) and Korea (Yonsei
University).

These positions are open immediately. Initial appointment is for one year
and extension after one year is expected â   subjected to mutual
agreements. For details on the work conditions please see
