The group, headed by Frank Ortmann, is researching fundamental processes in organic semiconductors with modern theoretical and computational approaches bridging charge transport methods with first principles methods. Understanding basic electronic and transport properties on different scales is essential to advance the field with great importance for many applications (OPV, organic transistors, OLEDs, etc.)

We are searching for an excellent PhD student to complement our team.

Tasks: theoretical modelling and computer simulations of electronic properties and charge transport in molecular materials.

Requirements: excellent university degree (Master or equivalent) in Physics, to be completed at the time of employment; experience in theoretical condensed matter physics as well as in computer simulations; good communication and writing skills in English. We are looking for highly motivated candidates with interest in developing novel methods and cooperation with experimentalists. Knowledge of ab initio simulations and electronic transport methodologies will be of great advantage.
