Fully-funded PhD student position with excellent salary and research funding conditions. 

Marie Curie PhD fellowship  Vibrational chiral response on chiral surfaces

SCM is a scientific software company located in Amsterdam. We are passionate about 
computational chemistry,  and our customers are active in academia, government labs and 
industry worldwide studying various fields of chemistry and materials science. 

We are looking for a PhD student who will research and develop methods for the simulation of 
vibrational spectroscopies of chiral molecules on surfaces, as well as devise ways of focusing 
the calculation on the most relevant parts of the spectrum, allowing for the treatment of larger 
systems.

The work will build upon and improve SCMs existing methods for computational chemistry, 
implementing and validating techniques for the Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulation 
of vibrational spectroscopic properties of chiral molecules interacting with a surface within 
the AMS program and to (i) develop methods for the calculation of IR and VCD for chiral 
molecules on surfaces, (ii) develop methods for calculating only the most relevant part 
of the spectrum to improve computational efficiency, (iii) interact with the characterization 
teams by computing nanocluster structural and spectroscopic properties directly accessible 
to experiment, (iv) interact with all the teams  both under laboratory and industrial set-up 
conditions  and synergize with experimental/industrial partners who require the developed 
computational tools in their own research.

The position is part of the European Commission-funded CHIRALNANOMAT doctoral network, 
a multi-disciplinary project between 9 laboratories and 6 companies in 8 European countries.

The position is open to:
- MSc graduates with an interest in chemistry/physics or related fields
- Theoretical chemistry/physics MSc graduates with an interest in quantum chemistry or 
molecular physics.

Software for Chemistry &amp; Materials B.V., SCM, is an independent spin-off company of the 
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands. SCM develops, maintains, and markets 
the Amsterdam Modeling Suite, used by computational (quantum) chemists, physicists and 
materials scientists in academia and industry.</pre>
