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.

A group of highly talented and motivated PhD candidates will start their PhD studies in the interdisciplinary field "Hybrid Structures on the Nanoscale: Chemical Concepts to Prepare Heterogeneous Nanostructures with Anisotropic Material Properties" within the DFG-funded Research Training Group NANOHYBRID in April 2020.
The application, selection and recruitment processes are well advanced. It is still possible to apply for two theory projects.

The two 3-years PhD positions in Theoretical Chemistry / Nanoscience are available in the groups of Gabriel Bester and Carmen Herrmann,

https://www.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/institute/ac/arbeitsgruppen/herrmann.html.

The research will focus on

• Bester group: developing and applying methods for evaluating exciton-plasmon couplings and optical properties in semiconducting dot-rod / metal hybrid systems, or
• Herrmann group: developing and applying methods towards automated decision strategies in simulating molecule-bridged nanoparticle hybrid systems.
 

 Both will be done in close collaboration with experimentally working colleagues within the Research Training Group.

Applicants should have a strong interest in theoretical chemistry or theoretical physics, a (prospective) master's degree or equivalent in chemistry, physics, nanoscience, or a related subject, and good basic knowledge of theoretical chemistry or solid-state physics. Solid English skills (both written and oral) are mandatory, knowledge of (or the willingness to learn) German as well as programming skills are a plus.

For your application, please familiarize yourself with the concept and the program of the Research Training Group on these webpages: 

https://www.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/en/forschung/grk-nanohybrid/overview.html

Your application should consist of

• a one page motivation letter supporting the choice of the preferred research project,
• a curriculum vitae,
• the master thesis (or a draft thereof),
• copies of your graduation certificates including transcripts of records.
 

All application materials should be sent as one pdf file to [email protected].

Application deadline: March 9th 2020 or until the position is filled.

Earliest starting date: April 1st 2020.
