Postdoctoral position
Computational chemistry
University of Salerno, Italy
PhD
Molecular Simulation
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, Australia
__________________________________________________ ______________
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in computational
chemistry in the group of Luigi Cavallo in the Department of Chemistry
at the University of Salerno, Italy. The initial appointment is for
one year, with the possibility to renew for a second year on the
condition that research funds are available.
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or related
fields. A strong background in computational chemistry and programming
skills are essential. The main theme of our research is to develop and
apply state-of-the-art computational tools (electronic structure
calculations, mainly) to achieve an understanding of reaction
mechanisms and of intermolecular interactions. The systems of primary
interest are organometallic complexes for homogeneous catalysis. For
more information see
http://www.chem.unisa.it/groups/molnac/.
Interested candidates should send a letter of intent and a C.V. (by
e-mail to lcavallo-at-unisa.it), and arrange for two letters of
recommendation.

PhD in Molecular Simulation (Swinburne University of Technology,
Melbourne, Australia)
PhD studentships are available at the Centre for Molecular Simulation
under the guidance of Professor Richard Sadus, Associate Professor Billy
Todd or Associate Professor Feng Wang. The Centre is located in Melbourne,
Australia. There is considerable flexibility in the scope of thesis topic.
Details of the Centre's work can be found at:
http://www.it.swin.edu.au/centres/cms/.
The successful applicant should have a strong undergraduate background in
science, or engineering.
International students should apply for both an International Postgraduate
Research Scholarship (IPRS) and a Swinburne University Postgraduate
Research Award (SUPRA). Permanent residents of Australia may apply for an
Australian Postgraduate Award (APA). Both SUPRA and APA scholarships will
receive additional top-up funding to a level of $20000 per annum that is
tax free. Outstanding local candidates may also apply for the Swinburne
Chancellor's Research Scholarship (CRS). Details of available scholarships
and application forms may be found at the following web site:
http://www.swinburne.edu.au/research/schols.htm. In addition, funding is also
available for both local and overseas conference travel.
Interested applicants should first consult contact Professor Richard Sadus
(rsadus@swin.edu.au).
Closing date: 31 October, 2006.
