About this position
This doctoral project at KTH Royal Institute of Technology is based in the Division of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology and focuses on developing methods and software for quantum-mechanical simulations of large molecular systems.
The student will work on computational approaches aimed at making these simulations scalable to some of the world’s largest computers. The project is strongly software- and algorithm-oriented, with emphasis on high-performance parallel computing on GPUs and on building tools that can handle demanding quantum-chemical calculations at scale.
The position is supervised by Patrick Norman. The research environment combines theoretical chemistry, molecular simulation, and advanced scientific computing, offering a setting for work at the intersection of chemistry and computational method development.
The project is explicitly framed around theoretical chemistry, quantum chemistry, density functional theory, GPU acceleration, and large-scale simulation software.
Funding details
Funding for 4 years of studies is provided by the supervisor.
What's required
Applicants must meet general doctoral admission requirements: a second-cycle degree, or completed coursework of at least 240 higher education credits including at least 60 credits at advanced level, or equivalent knowledge acquired in Sweden or abroad. For this position, advanced skills in GPU programming with CUDA are required, along with basic knowledge of quantum chemistry and density functional theory. English proficiency equivalent to Engelska B/6 is mandatory. The selection emphasizes independence, collaboration, professional conduct, perseverance, and the ability to analyze and work with complex issues.
How to apply
Apply through KTH’s recruitment system. Ensure the application is complete when submitted, including degree certificates and transcripts, proof of language requirements, translations if needed, CV, a motivation letter, and representative publications or technical reports. Submit by the stated deadline in the recruitment system.
