Skills/Qualifications

We are looking for motivated candidates:

  • with a PhD degree in chemistry, physics, biology or relevant
  • Having experience in computational chemical methods for small molecules, including modeling of kinetic and thermodynamic properties of metal-catalyzed reaction mechanisms.
  • In silico informatics skills: molecular modeling, molecular docking, gas-phase transition state structure moddeling, and molecular dynamics simulations (including application of molecular mechanics and/or semiempirical methods).
    Practical skills in use of molecular modeling software such as Gaussian, GROMACS, VMD, Discovery Studio, MOE, AMBER, etc.
    • Knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems, as well as some basics of programming languages (e.g., Python).
    • Knowledge in the field of mass spectrometry gas-phase chemistry, ion chemistry and reactivity of metal-organic complexes in the gas phase
  • Good knowledge of the English language (written and spoken).
  • Documented experience in scientific presentation (scientific conferences)

The candidate must meet the requirements of art. 113 of the Act - Law on Higher Education and Science dated July 20, 2018 (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1668 as amended).
