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.

We are searching for a highly motivated post-doc researcher (f/m/d) in full time (39 hours) with expertise in theoretical chemistry and interest in development of multireference methods for computational spectroscopy.  The position will be based in the computational spectroscopy and method development group led by Dr. Helmich-Paris. Our junior research group is part of the Molecular Theory and Spectroscopy department at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr (GER).

Job description: In this DFG funded project, the post-doc researcher will focus on the development and implementation of new multireference wavefunction-based electronic structure methods to compute excitation energies of valence and core electronic transitions. The platform of our developments is the ORCA package which is currently one of the world’s most versatile and frequently used quantum chemistry package. Communication of research results in journal articles and by oral presentations is expected as well.

Qualification: The ideal candidate should have

  • a Ph.D. degree obtained in Chemistry or Physics
  • profound knowledge of molecular electronic structure theory
  • excellent programming skills (preferably C/C++) and development experience in quantum chemistry codes
  • excellent English language and communication skills
  • basic knowledge of electronic spectroscopy
  • a proactive mindset and goal-oriented work ethic

Job offer:

  • full time (39 hours) research position (TVöD E13) limited to 2 years
  • exciting and challenging research project in one of the world’s most recognized research facilities
  • excellent and well-maintained infrastructure and administrative support

Applications:

Please send me your cover letter, curriculum vitae, and a list of 3 references with names and contact information in electronic form to the contact stated below.

Closing date:
