Research Fellow in Theoretical Molecular Physics/Astrophysics at University College London, UK

Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position to work with Prof Jonathan Tennyson on an STFC funded project Extending Exo Mol into the ultraviolet:
Sulphur containing molecules.

This aims to expand the scope of the Exo Mol database 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 Exo Mol 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 ()
