Several Postdoctoral and PhD positions are available in the chair for Theoretical Chemical Physics, led by Alexandre Tkatchenko (http://www.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/~tkatchen) in the Physics and Materials Science (PhyMS) Research Unit at the University of Luxembourg (http://wwwen.uni.lu/recherche/fstc/physics_and_materials_science_research_unit/research_areas/theoretical_chemical_physics). Several positions are supported by the recently funded European Research Council Consolidator Grant "Beyond Static Molecules: Modeling Quantum Fluctuations in Complex Molecular Environments".

The scientific topics range from machine learning approaches for describing molecular potential-energy surfaces, development of improved quantum methods for the description of non-covalent interactions, path-integral approaches to nuclear quantum effects, and synergies between these methods to interpret puzzling experimental observations and predict new phenomena in complex molecular systems.

The University of Luxembourg is a young and dynamic university and is rapidly growing in international rankings. Luxembourg is a small European country with a very high quality of living and is bordered by France, Belgium, and Germany. Last but not least, salaries are highly competitive.

Please contact me if you are interested in any of the offered positions. The positions are open to strong applicants with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and/or multidisciplinary background.

We offer competitive salary and attractive working environment in one of the most enjoyable European cities (http://www.euraxess.lu/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/home/guide_euraxess.pdf).
