Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät I - Quantenchemie der Festkörper/ Katalyse

• Postdoctoral Positions
• PhD Positions
  
• International Max Planck Research School "Complex Surfaces in Materials Science"

Postdoctoral Positions

(E13) are available for computational chemists/physicists for 2 up to 5 years in different areas

• Application of ab initio electronic structure methods to complex oxides and their surfaces. This project includes the study of transition metal oxide clusters and noble metal clusters on oxide surfaces in comparison to clusters in the gas phase and offers the possibility to close collaboration with excellent experimental groups in the Fritz-Haber-Institute.
• Applications of wave-function based electron correlation methods to the structure, dynamics and reactivity of multinuvlear transitions metal oxides and transition metal complexes as models for active sites of different types of catalysts.

Participation in method development is welcome, but not a condition. Candidates are expected to have a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry/Physics and experience in non-routine applications of quantum codes and/or simulation codes to complex systems.

Employment is either within projects based on grants or on temporary university assistant positions (maximum employment duration about 5-7 years) that include teaching obligations.
