A postdoc position is available in the Staroverov group at the Chemistry Department of The University of Western Ontario. Group website: http://publish.uwo.ca/~vstarove

The research area is broadly defined as development of electronic structure methods.The candidate should have (or expect) a PhD in theoretical chemistry or physics. Code development experience with at least one quantum chemistry package is a must. Qualified candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Staroverov by e-mail (see the web site) for further details.

We develop theoretical methods and computer programs for studying the electronic structure, physical properties, and chemical reactions of molecules and solids. The focus of our activities is on the Kohn–Sham density-functional method, particularly on designing new density-functional approximations...
