Starting Salary: £29,249 per annum The Theory of Quantum Nanomaterials group (http://tqn.eps.hw.ac.uk) seeks a talented and highly motivated scientist to undertake research into the quantum modelling of the molecular basis of avian navigation. The project is funded by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and is a collaboration with the London Centre for Nanotechnology, University College London, the Royal Institution and the University of Oxford. It is well known that birds can navigate using the Earth's magnetic field. Certain species do this by exploiting the spin properties of molecules in their retina. When excited by light, these molecules undergo singlet-triplet transitions that depends on the external field. In this project, we aim to investigate a new proposal for how...
