Research Position in the Department of Chemistry at University of Oslo
The position is financed by the KOSK II programme of the Norwegian  research council on the project Quantum modelling studies of local  coordination of T-atoms in Zeotype materials. The main objective of the  project is to elucidate the mechanism(s) for diffusion of framework  cations in zeotype materials.The successful candidate will perform  modelling studies of the relative stability of different silicon  distributions and mechanisms for silicon diffusion in SAPO materials and  aluminium diffusion in zeolites using methods based on quantum  mechanics. Periodic DFT calculations will be the main tool; however, DFT  and ab initio cluster calculations may also prove useful. 
Eligibility:
Applicants must hold a PhD in quantum chemistry or computational  solid-state physics, preferably involving periodic band structure  calculations.
-A strong ability to work independently is appreciated, as well as the  ability to view the computational work in a wider context, relating it  to experimental results.
-Experience in installing and tuning software for efficiency on high performance computing resources would be an advantage.
-A good working knowledge of the English language is necessary.
