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.
Postdocs at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technolog ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
For the group of Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), we are seeking talented postdocs, who will work in one of the three research directions:
Positions are connected to the development of multiscale simulation methods to work within the 3D Matter Made to Order Excellence Cluster at KIT or Virtual Materials Design (VirtMat) at the Institute of Nanotechnology at KIT. You will work on the method development, as well as the quantum mechanical calculations with applications in organic materials or metal-organic frameworks in collaboration with experimental groups.
Candidates should have expertise in computational theoretical physics or chemistry, or related areas, finalized with the successful PhD degree. Documented expertise in electronic structure theory calculations, as well as prior involvement in the supervision of students, are required. Knowledge of molecular dynamics and/or photochemistry, as well as high level quantum mechanics (beyond the density functional theory) are an advantage. We expect the ability and desire to work in a heterogeneous interdisciplinary environment and the ability to conduct independent research. Prior development of complex computational methods and appropriate skills in software engineering using state-of-the-art object-oriented languages are invited. Successful candidates should be able to demonstrate programming skills in high-level languages, such as python or C++.
Inquiries should be directed via open calls available here:
Please submit your applications until January 31, 2024.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel via [email protected].
