About the role
Conducting research and teaching, the successful applicant will contribute to the discipline¿s research strengths in theoretical and computational chemistry. Producing high-quality publications, supervising HDR students, and potentially attracting competitive grant funding, the applicant will work in collaboration with the theoretical and computational chemistry laboratory, which focuses on the development and applications of quantum chemical methods to a broad range of areas, including materials, environmental, physical, organic, or biological chemistry. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate early to mid-career researcher to work on the development and application of quantum chemistry and density functional theory methods within a world-class research environment with access to state-of-the-art local and national supercomputing facilities. Within this role, you will develop and teach high-quality programs of study in physical and computational chemistry and take a key role in the continued development of the chemistry program. A substantial part of the School's teaching is online, within a supportive pedagogic framework for students, therefore this role provides an excellent opportunity for an early career researcher to gain experience in delivering high-quality teaching at one of Australia's leading providers of online and distance education.
