LightDyNAmics is a just started Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network
LightDyNAmics: DNA as a training platform for photodynamic processes in soft materials. (H2020-MSCA-ITN-765266).
It offers 15 PhD positions. For further info please visit http://www.lightdynamics.eu
Within LightDyNAmics, two PhD positions are open at the Italian National Research Council
1 position is at the Institute of Biostructures and Bioimages.
PhD Title " Exciton and charge separation: computational models " . Supervisor Roberto Improta (robimp@unina.it)
1 position is at the Institute of Chemistry of OrganoMetallic Compounds.
PhD title "Quantum dynamics in nucleobases and small oligomers: toward the simulation of time resolved spectra ". Supervisor Fabrizio Santoro (fabrizio.santoro@pi.iccom.cnr.it)
The main aims of project 1 are:
1. Develop effective mixed quantum/classical computational strategies for the simulation of electronic spectra and the dynamics of excitation energy (EET) and charge transfers (CT) in strongly coupled multichromophore systems.
2. Applying these methods to investigate the excited state dynamics of polynucleotides, with special reference to G-quadruplexes.
The main aims of project 2 are:
1. Develop new effective computational strategies to compute pump-probe spectra and 2D electronic spectra from quantum dynamics (QD), to be directly compared with experiments.
2. Apply these methodologies to nucleobases and small oligomers addressing in detail the relation between the lifetimes obtained from fitting of spectroscopic traces and the underlying QD processes in the molecule.
The successful candidate of project 1 will work under the supervision of Dr. Roberto Improta and with the co-supervision of Dr. F. Santoro (ICCOM-CNR, Pisa) and of Dr. D. Markovitsi (LIDYL/CNRS, Paris) and will be enrolled in the doctoral School in Biomolecular Science at the University of Campania ‘Luigi Vanvitelli”.
The successful candidate of project 2 will work under the supervision of Dr. Fabrizio Santoro and with the co-supervision of Dr. R. Improta (IBB-CNR, Napoli) and of Prof. G. Cerullo (POLIMI, Milano), and will be enrolled in the doctoral School in Chemical and Materials Science at the University of Pisa.
Application deadline 31 May 2018.

1. Eligibility criteria
(a) Nationality: The candidate can be of any nationality.
(b) Mobility: By the closing date of the call for applicants, the candidate must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity in Italy for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment under the project. Compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account.
(c) Qualifications: By the closing date of the call for applicants, the candidate shall have a master degree or equivalent in Chemistry, Physics, Material Sciences (or related topics) corresponding to the second level of studies.
(d) Foreign language: The candidate shall be fluent in written and spoken English.
Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background and interest in one of the fields reported in (c). The ideal candidate will have a background in the theoretical study of photoinduced processes. Alternatively previous experience in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry is welcome. Programming skills (Fortran, etc) are welcome too.
By the closing date of the call for applicants
candidates shall not have been awarded a doctorate degree;
The candidate should be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent) of his/her research career. This includes the period of research training, starting from the date of obtaining the degree, which would formally entitle him/her to embark on a doctorate either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in Italy, irrespective of whether or not a doctorate is envisaged.
