The Faculty of Mathematics and Science and its Department of Physics are seeking to recruit candidates for several positions of Postdoctoral Researchers in computational nanoscience. The positions will start on October 1st, 2024, or as agreed, for a fixed-term of two to three years.
The researchers will work in the research group of Professor Hannu Häkkinen in a project (DYNANOINT) funded by the European Research Council. The DYNANOINT project aims to understand dynamical properties of interfaces between nanometer-size metal clusters and biomolecules, and to develop 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 post-doctoral researchers will have a possibility to jointly supervise PhD projects with the project PI.
The research group of Professor Häkkinen works at the JYU’s Nanoscience Center, a multidisciplinary research organization where physicists, chemists and biologists work together to study nature at the nanoscale. The NSC is an international scientific community, with research projects ranging from basic research on nanostructure processes to the development of commercial products.
The duties, qualification requirements and language skills of a Postdoctoral Researcher are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. The PhD degree required for the position must have been completed before starting the position.
We offer a wide range of staff benefits, such as occupational health care, flexible working hours, excellent sports facilities on campus and several restaurants and cafés on campus with staff discounts. Finland provides one of the most advanced and comprehensive social security in the world. It includes for example sickness benefits, various family benefits, comprehensive healthcare system and excellent public schools.
