This PhD project is based in the Department of Physics at Stockholm University, within the Division of Chemical Physics and the Molecular Dynamics Quantum Chemistry group. The work focuses on the theoretical description of X-ray induced electronic transitions in liquid solutions and solid materials, where environmental effects and dynamical core-excitation response make accurate modelling challenging. The doctoral researcher will help develop improved quantum-chemical and simulation methods for ...

Stockholm University is offering a postdoctoral position in experimental chemical physics within the Department of Physics and the Division of Chemical Physics. The fellow will join Foivos Perakis’s research group and contribute to HYDRA, a project funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. HYDRA investigates how water and protein sequence jointly control the formation and maturation of biomolecular condensates. The research follows these systems from early molecular interactions and li...

About this position
This doctoral project is based in the Division of Chemical Physics in the Department of Physics at Stockholm University, within the AlbaNova University Center. The position sits in a lively research environment with doctoral education across Physics, Theoretical Physics, Chemical Physics and Medical Radiation Physics, and the group spans a broad range of experimental and theoretical projects.
The project focuses on the theoretical description of X-ray induced electronic transitions in liquid solutions and solid materials, where strong environmental effects and dynamical core-excitation response make modelling especially challenging. A central motivation is to improve the interpretation of high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy data, particularly resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), in condensed-phase systems.
Depending on your background and interests, you will work on developing accurate methods for either:
- X-ray induced transitions in extended systems using advanced embedding techniques, or
- low-energy excitation phonons and vibrational effects.
The project is part of a European collaboration involving theoretical and experimental groups, and includes participation in experiments. You will work closely with the Molecular Dynamics Quantum Chemistry group, whose research ranges from accurate quantum-mechanical studies of molecules to realistic simulations of electrolyte solutions and energy materials.
The wider project, Theory Development for High-Resolution RIXS Experiments on Liquid Solutions and Solid Materials, involves collaboration with researchers at the University of Zurich and partner organisations including IBM Research, Paul Scherrer Institut, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology / KIT Light Source. The advertised post is one of several doctoral positions connected to this RIXS theory and experiment collaboration.
The position is associated with the research area of Atomic, Molecular and Complex Quantum System Physics, which is highlighted as one of Stockholm University’s leading research areas.
Funding details
The project is financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation; the position is a fixed-term doctoral employment for up to four years.
What's required
Applicants must meet Stockholm University’s general entry requirements for doctoral education, meaning a second-cycle degree, or at least 240 higher education credits including 60 second-cycle credits, or equivalent knowledge. For Chemical Physics, a BSc in Physics or equivalent is required, and chemistry courses may replace the required physics courses. The studies must include 60 second-cycle credits in physics, of which at least 15 credits must be a second-cycle degree project; the degree project need not be examined by the deadline, but half a semester of full-time work must have been devoted to it. English proficiency equivalent to Swedish upper-secondary English B is required, or a degree taught in English, or IELTS Academic 6.0+ with no section below 5.0, TOEFL 550/213/79, or Cambridge/Oxford Advanced/Proficiency. Selection is based on documented knowledge in a relevant field, analytical and creative thinking, initiative, independence, ability to collaborate, and written and oral proficiency.
How to apply
