About this position

Nantes Université in France is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (R2) for a full-time position at CEISAM, focusing on computational chemistry, specifically DFT-based excited-state simulations. The project, ChiraPeT (ANR-funded), aims to decipher the influence of chirality on photoinduced electron transfer (PeT) in biomimetic systems. The research will combine advanced computational methods such as TD-DFT, C-DFT, ADC(2), and the study of vibronic and spin–orbit effects, in close collaboration with experimental teams.

The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment with strong experimental–theoretical synergy and excellent institutional benefits. The position is supervised by Professor Denis Jacquemin, a leading expert in theoretical and quantum chemistry, with a prolific publication record and extensive experience in excited-state properties, quantum chemistry, and spectroscopic theory. The research group is based at CEISAM, UMR CNRS 6230, at Nantes Université, France.

Applicants must have a PhD in theoretical chemistry or physics and demonstrate experience with DFT/TD-DFT and quantum chemistry software such as Gaussian, Dalton, or Turbomole. The project is ideal for candidates interested in computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, excited states, and the role of chirality in electron transfer processes. The position offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research topics in a collaborative and interdisciplinary setting.

The application deadline is 11 March 2026, with a start date of 15 April 2026. Interested candidates should send their application to [email protected] and may contact Prof. Denis Jacquemin for scientific inquiries. For more information about the supervisor and research group, visit the academic page at Nantes Université.

Keywords: Computational Chemistry, DFT, TD-DFT, Excited States, Quantum Chemistry, Photoinduced Electron Transfer, Chirality, Biomimetic Systems, Theoretical Chemistry, Chemistry.
