PhD position in Computational Homogeneous Photocatalysis at KAUST Employer : KAUST - King Abdullah University of Science and TechnologyFrom : Prof. Luigi Cavallo, KAUST Catalysis Center, KAUST, Saudi ArabiaPosition offered : One PhD position in computational catalysis is available at the KAUST -King Abdullah University of Science and Technology-, Saudi Arabia ( The position is offered in the group of Prof. Luigi Cavallo ( The project will focus on developing a deeper mechanistic understanding of photocatalysis, mainly using static DFT and ab initio molecular dynamics of excited states of organic molecules and transition metal complexes. Within this scholarship the student will acquire the skills needed to build a successful career in independent research, by filling the gap between a student and a scientist. This implies mastering : i) the computational chemistry tools to carry out top-class research; ii) developing the needed chemistry knowledge to understand the problem at hand; iii) to communicate properly with experimental partners; iv) communicating research effectively in oral presentations and publication in journals; v) developing a critical approach to science; vi) write independent research proposals. Strong interaction with experimental groups is expected during the whole PhD. Students at KAUST are expected to graduate within 3-5 years.Further information on studying chemistry at KAUST is available at : KAUST scholarship will support the student during the whole stay at KAUST. Benefits include free fully furnished housing, free high standard medical and dental insurance. The KAUST is located on the red sea shore, close to Jeddah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Campus life at the KAUST is vibrant, with impressive recreational facilities that include excellent gym, climbing wall, martial arts classes, squash, racquet and tennis courts, basket and volley ball arena, beach volley, open air pools. Only applicants with the following qualifications will be considered.A recent Ms degree in Physics, Chemistry, or a related field.Good knowledge of physical chemistry.Proved experience in computational chemistry would be a plus.Excellent communication skills, both oral and written.Good judgment, independency at work, clear sense of purpose, and accountability.TOEFL for non-native English speakersUseful websites : should include a CV and contact information of at least two references and should be submitted by email to Prof. Luigi Cavallo at luigi.cavallo|at|kaust.edu.sa NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
