UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON

Research Fellow in Theoretical Molecular Physics/Astrophysics

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to work with 
Prof Jonathan Tennyson on an STFC funded project Extending ExoMol into 
the ultraviolet: Sulphur containing molecules. This aims to expand 
the scope of the ExoMol database (www.exomol.com) to studies of 
the temperature-dependent photoabsorption and photodissociation 
of molecules such as water, H2S, SO2, SO and HS. This work will be based 
on the use of high accuracy electronic structure calculations and the use 
of variational nuclear motion programs to generate final result. The ExoMol 
teams at UCL are the world leaders in providing spectroscopic data and 
modelling tools for the characterisation of exoplanets and other atmospheres 
but so far have largely concentrated on process at infrared and visible 
wavelength. This project aims spearhead a major expansion to shorter 
wavelengths..

Informal enquiries can be made to
Prof Jonathan  Tennyson (j.tennyson^ucl.ac.uk)

Closing date for applications: 23 April 2025
