UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY
    Department of Chemistry
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
   Two Post-doctoral positions are available in computational transition metal
      chemistry

   The successful candidates will be involved in

    - The development of methods based on ab initio molecular dynamics
combined
        with molecular mechanics for the simulation of elementary reaction
        steps and solvation effects

    - The development of methods based on DFT and ADF to study magnetic
properties or/and
        develop new functionals that can treat multiplets accurately

    - Application of the above methods as well as standard DFT codes (ADF)
        to the study of olefin polymerization catalyzed by single site
        transition metal catalysts
      
    

 Requirements: PhD in Theoretical Chemistry or Computational Physics.
               Demonstrated experience in the development and implementation
               of electronic structure codes as well as experience with
               chemical modeling. However, applicants with a strong record
               in the use of quantum mechanical methods to the study of
               catalysi will also be considered, although they have little
               experience with program development.
               

 Particulars: The position is for one year with the possible extension for
               another.
               The salary is $ 29,000 (CDN) + benefits (health care etc.).
               The position will be available from August 1, 1999.
