About this position
This PhD project at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid is part of the TECH-FOR-ATTO project and sits at the intersection of quantum chemistry, computational science and attosecond physics. The work focuses on developing and extending quantum algorithms for quantum chemistry, with a particular aim of modelling electron dynamics driven by attosecond light pulses.
The doctoral researcher will contribute to software and code development for solving quantum chemistry problems and then apply those methods to the project’s scientific goals. The position is hosted in the Chemistry Department of the Faculty of Sciences at UAM, within a research environment that combines chemistry, computer science and physics.
Beyond the core research, the PhD student will take part in training activities, dissemination and outreach, and short-term international research stays and visits are expected.
