About the Project
The Quantum-Chemical Theory and Simulation Laboratory (QCTSL) at the University of Winnipeg is currently searching for a PhD student to perform theoretical chemistry research, particularly in the area of electronic structure theory development. The project will involve the development of two-electron density functionals that incorporate machine-learned models for computation acceleration and will be combined with new approaches to modelling multireference systems (particularly excited states).
Position is funded to a minimum of $27k/year (including a teaching assistantship).
Programming skills are an asset but not required. Curiosity and enthusiasm are required, and the rest can be learned during study.
