One postdoc and one senior postdoc position are available in the research group of Claudia Draxl at HU Berlin. The successful candidates are expected to advance and implement methodology in the field of theoretical spectroscopy and will be responsible for the Green-function based methods in the program package exciting, http://exciting-code.org. This concerns in particular GW and the Bethe-Salpeter equation of many-body perturbation theory as well as aspects of electron-vibrational coupling.

The jobs also include (co)supervision of bachelor, master, and PhD students in the frame of various research projects employing methodology described above.

For the senior postdoc position up to totally six years of employment is possible. This period could be used to reach the habilitation (venia legendi) according to the German system.

Requested requirements and skills: The candidates should have a PhD in theoretical physics (or similar); excellent knowledge in condensed-matter theory and computational materials science, in particular many-body perturbation theory and density-functional theory; excellent programming skills (FORTRAN); proven experience in developing scientific software in the area of electronic-structure theory, preferably with all-electron methods; motivation and ability to work independently as well as in an international team; competence in guiding students.

If you are interested in joining a lively and multi-disciplinary international team, you are welcome to send your application documents, including a motivation letter, together with contact details for two references to Claudia Draxl per Email ([email protected]).
