Ph.D. Position in Theoretical Chemistry
Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany
A fully funded (50 % E13 TV-L) Ph.D. position for three years is available in the group of Professor Jörg Behler, Theoretical Chemistry, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany (www.theochem.uni-goettingen.de).
The project involves the development of efficient and accurate interatomic potentials based on electronic structure calculations and machine learning techniques. The potentials will be applied to large-scale state-of-the-art molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations of complex chemical processes at interfaces. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental groups in Göttingen.
The University of Göttingen is one of the leading research universities in Germany offering an exciting interdisciplinary environment and excellent facilities including several high-performance computing clusters on site.
Interested candidates should hold a M.Sc. in chemistry, physics or a related field and should be highly motivated to develop state-of-the-art simulation tools for challenging applications in the field of atomistic simulations.
Strong backgrounds in electronic structure theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics, familiarity with Linux as well as experience in programming (e.g. Fortran, Python, C++) are advantageous. Excellent communication skills in English are mandatory. German language skills are advantageous but not essential.
Please send your application including a CV, a motivation letter, copies of university certificates (BSc and MSc, in German or English) and contact addresses of two academic references by email in pdf format to
Prof. Dr. Jörg Behler
