Research Associate - Oldenburg, Deutschland - Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg

Beschreibung

In the group of by Prof. Caterina Cocchi at the Physics Department of the University of Oldenburg a position for a


Research Associate (M/F/d)
(TV-L E13 / 50 %)

is
available from until A one-year prolongation after this date is foreseeable. Part-time increase to 60% may be possible according to the available funding.

The project

The advertised position is embedded in the ongoing activities of the Electronic Structure Theory group led by Prof.

Cocchi in the development of computational methods for modelling structural, electronic, and thermal properties of complex materials such as photocathodes for electron beam generation, metal halide perovskites, and coordinated networks for energy storage, (photo)catalysis, and optoelectronics.

The project entails programming work in the field of density-functional theory interfaced with high-throughput screening and machine learning.

The developed methods will be applied to predict and characterize realistic materials investigated in the framework of established collaborations with experimental partner groups in Germany and abroad.

Our requests

Prerequisite for employment is a qualifying university degree (master's, diploma, or equivalent) in physics, chemistry, materials science or related disciplines, as well as proven experience with _ab initio_ simulations based on density functional theory, knowledge of quantum mechanics and consolidated programming skills.

Very good knowledge of the English language (both oral and written) are required. Prior experience with computational methods for high-throughput screening and machine learning is an asset.


Offer:

The position is intended to lead to a doctorate in physics at the University of Oldenburg, a young and dynamic university in the north-west of Germany.

Located in Lower Saxony, Oldenburg offers a family-friendly environment and high-quality life standard.

It is part of the Bremen/Oldenburg metropolitan region hosting over 2.3 Mio people and providing efficient public transport infrastructure for national and international connections.

Prof.

Caterina Cocchi and her enthusiastic team of young scientists have created an international and stimulating environment promoting teamwork and individual self-development.

The group has a consolidated collaboration network in Germany, Europe, and worldwide.
