We are seeking Doctoral Researchers for the project DYNANOINT, funded by the European Research Council and supervised by Professor Hannu Häkkinen in the research group Computational Nanoscience at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The positions will start on the 2nd January 2025, or as agreed, for a fixed term of 4 years.
The DYNANOINT project aims to understand dynamical properties of interfaces between nanometer-size metal clusters and biomolecules for developing applications of metal nanoclusters in bioimaging, biosensing and nanomedicine. In order to reach the goals, the project develops new multiscale simulation strategies, assessing critically graph theory and machine learning methods as potential accelerators for discovery of structure-function relationships combined with traditional electronic structure methods and force-field based dynamical simulations. The project offers several possibilities for close collaborations with experimental groups in USA, Canada, Denmark and Singapore.
The duties, qualification requirements and language skills of a Doctoral Researcher are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. The MSc degree required for the position must have been completed before starting the position. Doctoral Researcher needs to be also enrolled in the doctoral programme which can be applied from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science after selection for the position.
