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.
PhD position at University of Hamburg in the gro ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The degree will be obtained either in the physics or chemistry department, depending on the candidate's background. The successful applicant will join the group of Prof. Bester and work on a research project concerned with semiconductor nanoparticles and how the environment influences their electronic and optical properties. We aim at a fundamental understanding of the excitation (electronic or excitonic) transfer processes between (bio)molecules and the nanoparticle. Gained knowledge should be used to help design nanoparticles with target properties. The work calls for applying and possibly developing numerical approaches for the calculation of ultrafast electron and exciton transfer processes between semiconductors quantum dots and biomolecules.
We expect a Master’s degree or equivalent in physics, chemistry or related disciplines, preferably in the fields of theoretical condensed matter research or quantum chemistry. A candidate experienced with one or more of the following topics will be given priority:
Applications including a CV, a documentation of academic record, a brief description of the Master thesis project, a motivation letter should be sent in a single pdf file to: [email protected] with subject: Dynamics PhD application
The position can start as soon as possible.
More information can be found at the group's web page.

The University of Hamburg is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The University of Hamburg seeks to increase the number of women in those areas, where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
