Phd Position in Chemoinformatics / Chemometrics and Computational Chemitry at Department of Chemistry (NTNU)(NT-44/11). Two positions at the Department of Chemistry (IKJ), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in computational chemistry are currently available which are connected to the project ”A method for automated de novo optimisation of functional transition-metal complexes”.
The project is funded by the Norwegian Research Council and involves a close collaboration between IKJ/NTNU and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bergen (UiB). A total of two PhD students and one postdoctoral fellow will be recruited to the project during 2011 where one PhD and one postdoc are located here at NTNU.
The research will be directed towards the development of a de novo software system for automatic generation of new functional coordination compounds with optimal properties where catalysts are of particular interest. This type of de novo software is already much used in pharmaceutical industry for optimisation of new drugs, however it is not yet being used within coordination chemistry. The goal of the project is to develop new methods and software for the development of new functional coordination compounds with optimal properties in a more efficient and cost effective way.
Positions available at NTNU:
- 1 postdoc in programming of an evolutionary de novo system
- 1 PhD-position in chemoinformatics/chemometrics and computational chemistry
