The Quantum Chemistry Group are looking for a highly motivated PhD researcher to develop advanced electronic structure methods for electronically excited states in solution and robust workflows for simulating emission and phosphorescence spectra of organic chromophores. The project combines code development with applications that demonstrate the potential of coupled-cluster response theory and modern solvation models for predicting optical properties relevant to OLED and TADF materials.
