Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Technical University of Munich is seeking two Research Associates (f/m/d) to study electron dynamics and spin dynamics in organic materials, combined with the opportunity to pursue a PhD.
Project Description:
Our research group at TU Munich (TUM) develops computational approaches and produces theoretical knowledge We further benefit from highest-level experimental and theoretical collaborations. TUM is ranked among the top universities in Europe.
Your activities will focus on electronic structure simulations and ab initio modelling of dynamical processes (including excitonic properties, electronic transport and spin phenomena). One position will focus on transition metal oxides, the other on spins in organic molecular semiconductors. The ability to work in a team (collaborating with experimentalists and theory colleagues) and a strong motivation to advance the scientific project are expected. As the successful candidate, you will benefit from the membership at the TUM Graduate School, be part of an active international scientific network and present your results in national and international conferences.
Your qualifications:
For a successful application, a Master degree in Physics or Chemistry will be necessary at the starting time of the PhD project. The candidates are expected to have a background in theory and interest and experience with computer simulations. They should enjoy taking on new challenges and have first experience with programming. Knowledge of DFT simulations would be of great advantage. Very good communication and writing skills in English are further expected.
Our offer:
We offer each position as research associate with the opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree. The positions are available immediately for the duration of three years. Payment will be based on the Public Sector Collective Agreement of the Länder (TV-L E13 scale). TUM strives to raise the proportion of women in its workforce and explicitly encourages applications from qualified women. Applications from handicapped persons with essentially the same qualifications will be given preference.
Application:
Application documents (CV, motivation letter, certificates, up to two reference contacts) should be sent as a single pdf file to [email protected]. Subject: "Application PhD2023-2", Deadline: 15.07.2023. Successful candidates can be hired immediately.
