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.

Bielefeld University and Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences
Ph.D. positions (50% TVL E13) are available in the group of Professor Christian Schröder, Computational Materials Science and Engineering, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Bielefeld University. The positions are associated with the recently founded “Center for Interdisciplinary Materials Research and Technology Development (CiMT)” in Bielefeld. The CiMT is as joint venture of the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Bielefeld University, and regional high-tech companies.
The main topic of the projects is the development of multiscale simulation models for the investigation of degrading and corrosion processes of plastic or steel surfaces in close collaboration with experimental groups of the partner universities and companies.
Interested candidates should hold a M.Sc. in chemistry, physics, materials science or a related field and should be highly motivated to use, tailor, and if necessary develop state-of-the-art simulation tools for challenging applications in the areas of atomistic and continuum (FEM) simulations.
The ideal candidate is familiar with standard operating systems (Linux/Windows) and has some background in electronic structure theory (DFT), molecular dynamics, and/or continuum methods like FEM. Experiences in the use of related simulation tools and programming experience (FORTRAN, Python, C and/or C++) are advantageous and should be described in the motivation letter in detail. Excellent communication skills in English are mandatory. German language skills are advantageous but not essential.
Please send your application with the keyword ‘PSI-K-9-2019’ as one single pdf file including a CV, a motivation letter, copies of university certificates (BSc and MSc, in German or English), English language certificates, a description of relevant experiences and contact addresses of at least one academic reference (letters are not needed) by email to
