About this position

This full-time postdoctoral position is available in Professor Henrik R. Larsson’s Theoretical Chemistry/Computational Physics group at the University of California Merced. The successful candidate will join a DOE-funded Early Career project focused on developing rigorous quantum simulation tools for correlated attosecond electron dynamics in molecules.

Research will center on advancing methods related to tensor network states, such as TD-DMRG and MCTDH, to simulate complex electron dynamics, including nonadiabatic and ionization processes, electronic continuum, and multireference electronic structure. The group offers access to substantial computational resources, including dedicated nodes and national supercomputing centers. The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to contribute to international conferences, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and mentor students.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or a related field, with demonstrated experience in quantum simulations and programming (Python, Julia, C++, Fortran). Preferred candidates will have a background in computational method development for theoretical chemistry or physics, especially in attosecond electron dynamics and tensor network states. The position is for two years, with a competitive salary ($69,073 - $82,836 per year). Candidates must be eligible to work in the US; visa sponsorship is not available.

Application materials include a CV, cover letter, Authorization to Release Information Form, and contact information for three references. Optional materials include examples or links to developed computer code. The application deadline is October 2, 2026, but early submission by November 30, 2025, is recommended for full consideration.
