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 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 interpreting high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, especially resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS). Depending on background and interests, the project may emphasize advanced embedding techniques for X-ray induced transitions in extended systems or methods for low-energy phonon and vibrational excitations.

The position is embedded in a broader European collaboration that combines theoretical and experimental expertise. The project links Stockholm University with collaborators at the University of Zurich and other partner organisations, and it includes involvement in experiments as well as opportunities for international collaboration and conference participation.

The research environment at Stockholm University spans experimental and theoretical projects across chemical physics, and the broader area of atomic, molecular and complex quantum system physics is highlighted as a strong profile area of the university. The successful candidate will develop expertise in quantum chemistry and simulation techniques for photo-induced processes while contributing to research on X-ray spectroscopy in condensed phase.

Funding details

The project is financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation; the position is a fixed-term doctoral employment at Stockholm University.

What's required

Applicants must meet the general entry requirements for doctoral studies, meaning a second-cycle degree or equivalent to at least 240 higher education credits, including 60 credits at second-cycle level. For Physics or Theoretical Physics, a BSc in Physics or equivalent is required, together with 60 credits of second-cycle courses in physics including at least 15 credits for a second-cycle degree project. For Chemical Physics, chemistry courses may replace the required physics courses. For Medical Radiation Physics, a second-cycle degree project of 30 credits is required in the subject area, or with 60 credits of physics, a second-cycle degree project of 30 credits in another subject area. English proficiency equivalent to English B, or a degree taught in English, or IELTS 6.0 overall with no section below 5.0, TOEFL 550/213/79, or Cambridge/Oxford Advanced/Proficiency is required.
