Beschreibung
Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in Germany. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented, regionally
anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. lt develops
innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic programs, the
university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social sciences and
medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity and transfer
of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all employees
in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop their
individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a university
culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation and active
participation. For TUD, diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent university.
Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their achievements and
productivity to the success of the whole institution.

At the
Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry, the

starting
as soon as possible_. _The PhD Student position entails 65% of the fulltime weekly hours and
fulltime weekly hours and is limited to 2 years. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed
Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG). The position offers the
chance to obtain further academic qualification (usually PhD).


Tasks:
The project aims at developing and employing density-functional based and
data-driven
methods for designing (i) novel ionic high-entropy and (ii) two-dimensional compounds. The
electronic analysis. An accurate description of thermodynamic stability is crucial for materials design
especially for ionic systems such as oxides. While currently used density-functional approaches have
the merits of previous correction schemes and machine learning to design ionic high-entropy and
novel two-dimensional materials and their electronic and magnetic properties. The work will be
carried out in close collaboration with various local and international collaborators necessitating a
strong commitment to scientific communication and networking.


Requirements:
a university degree (M. Sc. or equivalent) and if applicable a PhD degree in chemistry,
physics or theoretical/computational materials science and profound knowledge in computational
and theoretical physics/chemistry. Capability of excellent communication, team work - also with
experimental partners - is essential. Good scripting and programming skills (C++, Python). Skills in
machine learning, high-performance computing, solid-state physics/chemistry, materials
thermodynamics, 2D compounds, and density-functional theory (VASP, Quantum Espresso) are
welcome.


What we offer:
We offer a position with a competitive salary in one of Germany's most attractive
research environments. TU Dresden provides outstanding working, research, and networking
possibilities. The positions will be in the established Dresden-concept Research Group "Autonomous
Materials Thermodynamics" of Dr. Rico Friedrich at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry (Prof. Thomas
Heine) and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. It maintains strong ties with the local
experimental groups of TU Dresden and the institutes of the DRESDEN-concept network. The chair

hosts its own computer cluster and has full access to the high-performance computing (HPC)
infrastructure at ZIH Dresden, one of Germany's leading HPC centres. Dresden, the capital of the State
of Saxony, is a city with a beautiful historical centre and offers a high standard of living with high
ratings in housing, safety, and healthcare.

TUD strives to employ more women in academia and research. We therefore expressly encourage
women to apply. The University is a certified family-friendly university and offers a Dual Career
