25.11.28 Postdoc Positions in Machine Learning and Ab Initio Simulations: Marx Group

The Center for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers Postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the Marx Group. These positions are available immediately or upon mutual agreement for two years with possible extensions.

About the role

The researchers will be involved in challenging projects using and/or advancing modern ab initio simulation techniques, notably in the frame of highly accurate machine learning extensions. Our research is very collaborative and often involves joint projects in teams with experimental partners or/and other theory groups. Topics include but are not limited to aqueous interfaces, vibrational spectroscopy, and quantum cryochemistry, all using and advancing cutting-edge methods such as artificial neural networks or path integrals.

Responsibilities

• Participate in challenging projects using and/or advancing modern ab initio simulation techniques, notably in the frame of highly accurate machine learning extensions.
• Collaborate with experimental partners or other theory groups on joint projects.
• Contribute to the development and application of advanced simulation techniques, including artificial neural networks and path integrals.
• Advocate for and participate in international conferences and workshops with full funding.

Requirements

Candidates should have significant general experience in molecular dynamics/electronic structure and a PhD in computational/theoretical chemistry/physics.

Qualifications

Candidates should have a strong background in computational/theoretical chemistry/physics and a PhD in the relevant field.

Skills

Strong skills in molecular dynamics, electronic structure, and machine learning are required.

Benefits

The Research Associates will take full advantage of being integrated into RESOLV and ZEMOS, and will get ample opportunity to attend international conferences and workshops with full funding.

Pay

The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience.

Schedule

The positions are available immediately or upon mutual agreement for two years with possible extensions.

The Center for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers an exciting interdisciplinary research environment and excellent facilities including several in-house HPC platforms.

The Marx Group is among the scientific pillars of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV and is deeply involved in the Center for Solvation Science ZEMOS, which hosts a powerful Core Facility for Simulation.

Candidates should have significant general experience in molecular dynamics/electronic structure and a PhD in computational/theoretical chemistry/physics. At Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women in areas in which they have been underrepresented, and we would therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us their applications.

Applications by suitable candidates with severe disabilities and other applicants with equal legal status are likewise most welcome. Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue until the positions are filled.
