Beschreibung

Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik Leibniz-Institut im Forschungsverbund Berlin e


V:
The Paul Drude Institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.
V. and a member of the Leibniz Association.

The institute carries out basic and applied research at the nexus of materials science, condensed matter physics, and device engineering.

• Junior Research Group Leader
• Computation of Thin Film Growth Processes

Working field:

• We are looking for an ambitious and motivated researcher who aspires to take the next career step to lead a junior research group, to get involved in advising the next generation of scientists, as well as taking on teaching responsibilities.

Requirements:


Your responsibilities:
- lead the scientific efforts to compute the nonequilibrium growth processes in a variety of material systems
- setup and operate computational capabilities to conduct the calculation at the institute in coordination with our IT-team
- initiate ties with computation centers to carry out computationally heavy work
- actively seek collaboration with experimental scientists to nurture interdisciplinary research across the experimental and computational domain
- establish and distinguish yourself with an internationally recognizable research program by taking full advantage of the proximity to experimental expertise in growth at PDI
- initiate/foster collaborations with external partners from academia
- actively involve yourself in advising B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.
D. students


Your profile:
- a Ph.
D. degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Informatics, or closely related field
- several years of experience in performing simulations of thin film growth processes, such as ab-initio kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, Reactive Force Field simulations, or similiar
- ambition to take up a scientific junior leadership role
- ability to work in an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and students with a diverse skill set ranging from computation to experimenalists


What we offer:

• Modern laboratories with a wide range of experimental techniques
• Supportive environment with experts for various scientific subfields
• International and culturally diverse community
• Location in the heart of Berlin with excellent public transport connections

- a subsidized travel ticket

• Possibility to participate in professional development programs

How to apply:

Your documents should contain
- a dedicated cover letter,

• CV,

- a complete list of publications and presentations,

• 2page research interest and vision statement,

- a 5-page proposal outlining research activities in the first three years including timeline, milestones, and required resources to invest into computational infrastructure,
- statement outlining the commitment to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in the junior research group and at the institute,
- diploma(s) and transcript(s)
