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 and review 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.
