The research group of Dr. Milica Feldt in the department of Theory & Catalysis has an opening for a
position in this area.
Your task:
You will be working in the newly established young researchers group of Dr. Milica Feldt which is
investigating iron catalysts by computational methods. Iron is present in different oxidation and spin
states thus it is very challenging for computational chemistry. The goal is to gain a better
understanding of iron complexes and enzymes which can help in the design of more efficient catalysts. To reach this understanding we will be working on biomimetic non-heme iron catalysts and non-heme iron enzymes by using different computational chemistry approaches.
Your competence:
-University degree (Master) in Chemistry, Physics, (Bio)informatics or a related field
-PhD degree in computational/theoretical Chemistry
-Experience in theoretical (Bio-)Chemistry with the focus on transition metal complexes
-Experience with either simulations QM/MM or CASSCF calculations is desirable
-At least one year of previous PostDoc experience
-Demonstrated independence in research
-Good spoken and written English
-Communication and teamwork skills
Our offer: We offer a challenging PostDoc position in an excellent, international environment at the
LIKAT Rostock. The position is available from February 1, 2023 and limited to 1.5 years. Place of work is Rostock. The salary is based on public service rates of the German states (E13 TV-L, 100%).
LIKAT supports professional equality of women and men and so applications from women are most
welcome. In areas where women are underrepresented at LIKAT preference will be given to women with equal qualification. Disabled applicants with equal qualification and aptitude will be given preferential consideration.
Please, send your application (including C.V., list of publications, copies of relevant examination certificates and names contact information of two referees) as an e-mail (in one pdf file with a max. size of 25 MB) by e-mail quoting the reference number 422-01/2022 to [email protected] until December 20, 2022. The deadline for the application might be extended. 
For topic related questions, please contact Dr. Milica Feldt ([email protected]) directly.
