Abstract
Raman optical activity is a dynamically evolving vibrational spectroscopy, suitable, for example, for structural studies of biomolecules. Spectral interpretations are usually based on molecular dynamics and quantum-chemical methods. These need to be adapted for a particular experiment. We will focus on theoretical description of resonance and anharmonic systems and their interaction with environment, for which the current theoretical apparatus is not sufficiently developed.
Study program: Chemistry, Physics
Universities
PhD students must be enrolled in a partner university and will be employed by the IOCB Prague at the same time (part-time or full time), which results in a competitive salary (a scholarship from the university + a salary from the IOCB). Each university has its own process, terms, and deadlines for PhD applications, which is separate from the IOCB recruitment process. You may discuss the details with the respective PI.
