We cordially invite eligible postdoc candidates (not limited to Chinese nationals or residents) to join us. PhD students that intend to graduate in less than one year could also send their applications.
Our group was established in September, 2020, and mainly engaged in developing density functional theory (DFT) methods for improving predictions of chemical reactions, material properties across system sizes (from molecules to solids). Besides, we also have interest in (i) developing novel quantum chemistry methods that can overcome the limitations of Kohn-Sham DFT, and (ii) going beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation to describe nonadiabatic dynamics. For potential applications, we will focus on applying our methods for elucidating (i) catalytic reaction mechanisms, particularly those that occur at interfaces, and (ii) chemical processes after photo-excitation. Postdoc or PhD candidates with the background of theory development or rich experience in computations in real systems are strongly encouraged to send their applications.
We have sufficient funding to provide competitive salary and benefits including housing subsidies, child education, health insurance, etc. Eligible candidates could also seek for support from Peking University and the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering. These include the Postdoctoral International Exchange Program, Peking University Boya Postdoctoral Fellowship, and the BMS Junior Fellow, to just name a few.

Eligible candidates can apply for the above programs at the same time.
For those interested in our group, please send inquiries or applications to Prof. Chen Li chenlichem@pku.edu.cn. Our recruitment stays valid until December 2024.
If you aim at inventing your own theories to explain, predict and ultimately guide the experiment, please don't hesitate to join us!
