A postdoctoral position is available in the Chair for Theoretical Chemical Physics (TCP), led by Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko in the Department of Physics and Materials Science (DPhyMS) at the University of Luxembourg (http://www.tcpunilu.com). This research project is embedded within a strong collaboration between the TCP group and an internationally-leading pharmaceutical company.

 We are looking for motivated, independent, and skilled scientists to join our group. As part of the TCP group, researchers will have ample opportunity to exchange ideas, transfer knowledge, and to pick up new expertise. Our publications (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=o2t1Pv8AAAAJ&hl=en) provide a perspective on our research directions. 

 The applicant will develop and apply atomistic modeling methods for an efficient and accurate modeling of terahertz (THz) spectra of molecular crystal polymorphs. The work will involve employing a variety of first-principles methodologies, using materials discovery and informatics tools, and deploying machine learning for efficient spectroscopic simulations. 

 DPhyMS at Uni.lu is a quickly growing physics department composed of 19 dynamic research groups, spanning the broad domains of condensed matter, molecular, and quantum physics. The University of Luxembourg is a young, dynamic, and well-funded university 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.

 The positions are open to strong applicants with backgrounds in physics, chemistry and/or multidisciplinary background. We offer competitive salary and attractive working environment in one of the most enjoyable European cities (http://www.euraxess.lu).

 Interested applicants should send their CV, motivation letter, and contact data for two referees. For more information and applications contact: Prof. Dr. Alexandre Tkatchenko ([email protected]).
