The Research Training Group “Quantum-Mechanical Materials Modelling” (QM³) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and hosted by University of Bremen in collaboration with Jacobs University, University of Oldenburg and Max-Planck-Institute for Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, offer

Twelve 3-year PhD positions (f/m/d)

German federal pay scale E13 TV-L (75%)

- under the condition of job release. Earliest starting day is 01.01.2020 -

The time limitation is subject to the scientific qualification according to the Act of Academic Fixed-Term Contract, §2 (1) (WissZeitVG – Wissenschaftszeitvertrags-gesetz). Therefore, candidates may only be considered if they dispose of the respective scope of qualification periods according to §2 (1) WissZeitVG.

The RTG will provide a stimulating research and training environment uniquely bringing together materials modelling expertise from the fields of ab initio and correlated electron theory to quantum dynamics and large-scale approaches. We offer research projects on the development of advanced electronic structure methods linking many-body, non-equilibrium and multi-scale approaches towards synergetic applications in two-dimensional materials and metal oxide interfaces. For further information and details on possible projects see http://www.rtg-qm3.de.

Requirements:

• A Master’s degree in physics or chemistry, preferably in the field of theoretical condensed matter research or quantum chemistry,
• A strong interest in electronic structure, quantum many-body and non-equilibrium methods.
• Very good programming skills in at least one high level programming language (ideally Python) and good knowledge of Linux (including shell scripting
