Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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.

About us
In the Theoretical Chemistry group at TUM, we develop and apply electronic-structure methods to investigate reactivity with a particular focus on catalytic processes. We strive to understand catalysis in its complexity including side reactions, operando changes and the overall dynamics of the catalyst and its environment. Please check out https://www.ch.nat.tum.de/theochem/ for more details.
Required qualifications
Prospective candidates
Tasks
The theoretical modeling of electrocatalysis is a challenging task since not only the electronic structure of the catalyst but also the environment plays a crucial role. Our group is actively developing (grand-canonical) embedding methods for metal-nanoclusters, solvation models as well as fast electronic-structure methods for structural exploration. Open questions remain for all these topics and the precise project will be defined with the selected PhD candidate. The project will involve method development and applications at a ratio that is based on the candidate’s prior experience and preference.
We offer
The position is fully funded, available immediately and limited to three years. TUM strives to raise the proportion of women in its workforce and explicitly encourages applications from qualified women. Applications from disabled persons with essentially the same qualifications will be given preference.
Application
Please send your CV, meaningful letter of motivation detailing your interest in the field of simulation and modeling of catalytic processes, two recommendation letters and degree certificates or transcripts of record to Prof. Dr. Christopher J. Stein ([email protected]). Only complete applications will be considered. The initial application deadline is June 23rd, 2023 but the position will be reopened until a suitable candidate has been identified.
