Dear Psi-k community,

I would like to announce an opening for a postdoctoral research associate position (100% TVL-E13, 1.5 years) in my group in the Faculty of Physics at the University Duisburg-Essen, Germany, starting March 2022.

We will develop and employ embedded cluster models to study chemical processes at the interfaces of energy materials such as batteries and catalysts. Experience in this field is highly desired. This project is supported by the return fellowship of the state of North-Rhine Westphalia.

or on my website https://www.uni-due.de/physik/stein/

We are looking for a highly motivated researcher with a PhD degree (m/f/d) in physics, chemistry or a related field. Knowledge of electronic-structure theory and excellent English communication skills are required. Previous programming experience and basic knowledge of electronic-structure programs such as Q-Chem, Orca or VASP are mandatory. The project is focused both on method development and the applications of electronic-structure calculations of embedded cluster models.

Applications with reference number 1011-21 containing a detailed motivation letter, CV, transcripts of records, diplomas, PhD certificate, and a recommendation letter should be sent as a single pdf directly to me (email can be found in the linked pdf). The deadline for the application is January 12th, 2022.

I would be grateful if you pass this on to qualified potential candidates.

Best regards,

Christopher Stein
