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.
Postdoc Positions in Ab Initio Simulation: Marx ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
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 highly accurate machine learning extensions (e.g. JCP 148, 2018, 102310; JCTC 16, 2020, 88; JCTC 18, 2022, 5492; PRL 129, 226001 2022). Our reseach is very collaborative and often involves joint projects in teams with experimental partners or/and other theory groups. Our topics cover e.g. aqueous interfaces, vibrational spectroscopy or quantum cryochemistry always using and advancing cutting-edge methods such as those based on artificial neural networks or path integrals;
check 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). Note that our recent methodological developments including those of highly accurate ML-potentials are covered in our recent research and review articles (e.g. JCP 152, 2020, 210901).
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.
