Within the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1333 – Molecular Heterogeneous Catalysis in Confined Geometries at the Institute for Computational Physics (group of Maria Fyta), University of Stuttgart, Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen, we offer a postdoctoral position starting November 01, 2020. We initially offer a fixed-term contract for one year.

Job Description

Bottom-up modeling of influence of different factors on catalytic molecules in confined small pores. The work will solely be based on computer simulations at different scales, involving materials, solvent, and molecules.

Requirements

The position requires a university Master´s degree in physics/chemistry. Specifically we would like to encourage candidates with the following qualifications to apply:

    experience with computer simulations (quantum-mechanical and atomistic)

    strong theoretical background in Physics/Chemistry

    above average academic achievements

    Identification with the multidisciplinary nature of the collaborative research center (catalysis, materials science, analytical chemistry, theory and simulation science) and the enthusiasm to learn beyond your individual research topic

    Willingness to actively participate in CRC events and qualification measures

The CRC is based on an interdisciplinary scientific exchange.
