NIT Durgapur jobs for Research Associate in Durgapur. Last Date to apply: 21 Apr 2021
Job Description
1. Post Name: Research Associate
2. PROJECT: "Structure elucidation of simple hydrocarbons through Global Optimization using Density Functional Theory and post HF methods"
3. Duration: Two years.
4. Project Summary: Hydrocarbons are an important in astrochemistry and astrobiology, in addition to being an integral part of life on Earth. While the stable hydrocarbon molecules found on Earth can be
easily characterized with the current techniques, the transient hydrocarbons, especially in the interstellar medium and extreme conditions, are elusive. Using HPC facilities, we plan to develop a
database of several isomeric geometries of all combinations of n and m in CnHm up to the practically affordable size. We will use an AuJbau approach of building up the molecules from C and H atoms,
adding one atom at a time. For exploring this chemical space, we plan to improve the efficiency of our software, PyAR, by making it parallel and by adding more global optimization algorithms. The database of optimized geometries and other properties can be useful in identifying species in ISM and to understand the transient species during reactions.
5. Qualification for RA: (i) Motivated PhD holders in (theoretical) Chemistry or Physics from a recognized University/lnstitute within last two years (preferable).
6. Desirable Experience: Candidates should be well versed with
1. Coding in Python/Fortran/C language under HPC cluster environment.
2. Thorough with DFT and electronic structure calculation software e.g. ORCA, Gaussian, CFOUR, MOLPRO etc
3. Numerical methods of global optimization and other similar techniques.
7. EMOLUMENTS: (i) Total fellowship Rs. 47,000/- per month (consolidated) for the first year and Rs. 49,000/- per month (consolidated) in the second year after successful assessment by the review
committee.
