PhD student in computational chemistry

The S3 group (http://webqo3.webs.uvigo.es/) in the Organic Chemistry Department at the Universidade de Vigo (Spain) is looking for a Chemistry/Physics graduate interested in pursuing a PhD in the field of molecular modeling of reaction mechanisms in homogeneous catalysis.

We offer a 10 month contract (March-December 2020) associated to the Project “In Silico-Catalysis for the development of new sustainable synthetic methodologies” funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación. There is the possibility of further employment depending on performance and the availability of funds in the group. After enrollment, the candidate will be eligible for applying to doctoral scholarships from the University, the national and the regional governments.

We are looking for someone interested in research and willing to become a part of a small group, very active in international collaborations. The candidate should meet the requirements for enrolling into the PhD program “Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling” at the Universidade de Vigo.

For more information regarding the type of work to be done and conditions of the contract, available research lines, requirements of the candidates, results and resources of the group, you can contact the PI of the project at this e-mail address faza@uvigo.es.

Applications will be received until February 12th. We will confirm the reception of applications through e-mail. A comittee formed by professors in the research group will evaluate the CV of candidates, taking into account academic achievement, scientific experience and other capabilities (language proficiency, programming languages, computing skills, etc.), together with an interview, either in person or through Skype/telephone.

Applications should include the following information:
