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.
Research Scientist at University of Tübingen (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
At the Center for Light-Matter Interaction, Sensors and Analytics (LISA+) of the University of Tübingen, Germany, a position as
Research Scientist (m/f/d; TV-L 13, 100%)
at the postdoctoral level is available immediately.
The position is based on a fixed-term contract up to 31.12.2025 depending on prior experience. A doctoral degree in Chemistry, Physics or closely related subjects is required, and previous postdoctoral work experience is preferable. The appointed Junior Researcher will be linked to the local theory groups, but will work widely independently within the Core Facility for Light-Matter Interaction, Sensors and Analytics (LISA+, see also https://www.lisaplus.uni-tuebingen.de). The opportunity to pursue a habilitation will be provided.
The position has a teaching load of four hours per week, to be taught in the Physics, Chemistry, and/or Nanoscience BSc/MSc degree programs. The ideal candidate has a strong background in theoretical chemistry or theoretical physics and works in one or more of the following fields: Quantum-chemical calculations on the density functional theory level, finite-element based methods, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations or electromagnetic field simulations. A high commitment towards building his/her own independent research program is equally expected as the collaboration with other LISA+ research groups and the contribution to joint research initiatives.
Specifically, the following topics may constitute the basis for such on-going and planned joint research programs: Excited states in organic π-systems, diffusion of excitons, charge and energy transfer processes at nanostructured interfaces, the correlation between structure and structural defects with the optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanostructures, atomic structure at interfaces and defects in strongly correlated oxides and correlation with electronic properties and collective states, transport phenomena in nanomaterials, or plasmonic effects in nanostructured metals. A potential focus on developing hybrid methods for addressing the intersection between objects at the 100 nm length scale and molecular structures is encouraged.
Interested candidates are asked to send a CV, a list of publications and a short research perspective via email to [email protected] by 15.4.2021. Handicapped candidates with equal qualification will receive preferential consideration. The University of Tübingen wishes to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching and strongly encourages qualified female candidates to apply.
