Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in the group of Prof. William Glover at NYU Shanghai. Research projects include developing and using multiphysics excited-state ab initio dynamics methods to understand photosynthetic light harvesting and DNA damage. A particular emphasis of this work is in making direct connection to experiment by simulating observables. To achieve these goals, we develop cutting-edge computational tools, including Graphical Processing Unit (GPU)-based quantum chemistry code.
