Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the Marx Group at Bochum (www.theochem.rub.de) which are available immediately or upon mutual agreement
for two years with possible extensions. The researchers will be involved in challenging projects using and/or advancing modern ab initio simulation techniques including state-of-the-art
machine learning extensions. Our reseach is very collaborative and often involves joint projects in teams with experimental partners and other theory groups. Our topics cover e.g. aqueous interfaces, vibrational spectroscopy or quantum cryochemistry always using cutting-edge methods such as those based on path integrals and artificial neural networks; check our homepage and our recent publications.

The Center for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers an exciting interdisciplinary research environment and excellent facilities including several in-house HPC platforms. The Marx Group is
among the scientific pillars of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (www.solvation.de) and is deeply involved in the Center for Solvation Science ZEMOS (www.rub.de/zemos), which hosts a
powerful Core Facility for Simulation. The Research Associates will take full advantage of being integrated into RESOLV and ZEMOS.

Information on the simulation techniques we use and develop at CTC are accessible via http://www.theochem.rub.de/go/cprev.html whereas fundamentals are provided in D. Marx and J. Hutter, Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics: Basic Theory and Advanced Methods (Cambridge, 2009). Our latest methodological developments including those of highly accurate ML-potentials can be found in our most recent research articles.

Candidates should have significant experience in molecular dynamics / electronic structure and a PhD in computational / theoretical chemistry / physics. Please send your CV as a PDF file to:

At Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women in areas in which they have been underrepresented, and we would therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us their applications. Applications by suitable candidates with severe disabilities and other applicants with equal legal status are likewise most welcome.

Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
