Key responsibilities
- Internationally-leading research in the development of quantum many-body theory
- Maintenance and development of computer implementations
- Mentorship of more junior group members
- Contribution to effective research culture and inclusion
- Contribution to effective dissemination of research through written and oral presentation
The above list of responsibilities may not be exhaustive, and the post holder will be required to undertake such tasks and responsibilities as may reasonably be expected within the scope and grading of the post.
Skills, knowledge, and experience
Applicants are expected to have a PhD, or are awaiting its award, in a relevant area (Theoretical/Computational Physics or Chemistry), and experience in the area of electronic structure theory development and implementation. The successful applicant will be expected to work within a collaborative theory group, and actively contribute to a variety of methodological developments, including stochastic, perturbative and embedding techniques, building on machine learning techniques.
