Tech­ni­sche Uni­ver­si­tät Dres­den - Fac­ulty of Chem­istry and Food Chem­istry - Chair of The­or­et­ical Chem­istry

The TU Dres­den is one of ele­ven Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties that were iden­ti­fied as an “excel­lence uni­ver­sity”. TUD has about 36.500 stu­dents and almost 5319 employees, 507 pro­fes­sors among them, and, thus, is the lar­gest uni­ver­sity in Sax­ony, today.

Having been com­mit­ted to sci­en­ces and the engi­nee­ring before the reuni­fi­ca­tion of Ger­many, TU Dres­den now is a multi-disci­pline uni­ver­sity, also offe­ring huma­nities and social sci­en­ces as well as medi­cine.

Research Asso­ci­ate / PhD Stu­dent (m/f/x)

At TU Dresden, Fac­ulty of Chem­istry and Food Chem­istry, Chair of The­or­et­ical Chem­istry offers a pos­i­tion as

Research Asso­ci­ate / PhD Stu­dent (m/f/x)
(sub­ject to per­sonal qual­i­fic­a­tion employ­ees are remu­ner­ated accord­ing to salary group E 13 TV-L)

The tent­at­ive start­ing date is August 1, 2022 with flex­ib­il­ity for an earlier or later start. The pos­i­tion is ini­tially lim­ited to 3 years with the option of exten­sion and entails 65% of the full­time weekly hours. 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 (e.g. PhD).

The pos­i­tion is avail­able in the junior research group of Dr. Dorothea Golze at TU Dresden. Dorothea’s research group launched in June 2021 as part of the Emmy-Noether pro­gram of the Ger­man Research Found­a­tion. The goal of the group is to develop highly accur­ate the­or­et­ical meth­ods for core-level spec­tro­scopy of com­plex mater­i­als. The pro­ject will focus on X-ray pho­to­elec­tron spec­tro­scopy (XPS) and X-ray absorp­tion spec­tro­scopy (XAS), which are power­ful tools for mater­i­als char­ac­ter­iz­a­tion.

Working field:

In your pos­i­tion you will develop highly accur­ate GW-based meth­ods for large-scale applic­a­tion to novel 2D frame­work mater­i­als. You will imple­ment a low-scal­ing GW algorithm for massively par­al­lel exe­cu­tion on the new gen­er­a­tion of (pre-)exas­cale super­com­puters, tak­ing also GPU accel­er­a­tion into account. The low-scal­ing GW code will be co-developed with the FHI-aims pro­gram pack­age and the devel­op­ment will pro­ceed in col­lab­or­a­tion with the FHI-aims developer’s com­munity as well the Novel Mater­i­als Dis­cov­ery (NOMAD) team. In later stages of your pro­ject, you will apply your meth­od­o­logy for the pre­dic­tion of XPS and XAS spec­tra of 2D mater­i­als in col­lab­or­a­tion with exper­i­mental and com­pu­ta­tional part­ners at TU Dresden, in par­tic­u­lar with the group of Prof. Thomas Heine.

Requirements:

Uni­versity degree in phys­ics / chem­istry / mater­ial sci­ence, pref­er­en­tially with the­or­et­ical back­ground. We are look­ing for a motiv­ated can­did­ate, who is inter­ested in elec­tronic-struc­ture the­ory and code devel­op­ment. Basic pro­gram­ming skills are expec­ted. Exper­i­ence in par­al­lel­iz­ing code on HPC plat­forms are a plus, but not man­dat­ory. However, a strong motiv­a­tion to learn pro­gram­ming for super­com­put­ing plat­forms is required.

What we offer:

  • Train­ing and courses in par­al­lel pro­gram­ming at European super­com­put­ing cen­ters
  • Work in inter­na­tional and inter­dis­cip­lin­ary envir­on­ment
  • Broad qual­i­fic­a­tion pro­gram and career sup­port by the Gradu­ate Academy of TU Dresden

How to apply:

Applic­a­tions from women are par­tic­u­larly wel­come. The same applies to people with dis­ab­il­it­ies.

Please sub­mit your com­plete applic­a­tion (CV, cover let­ter explain­ing your motiv­a­tion to apply for this pos­i­tion and con­tact inform­a­tion of one ref­er­ence) by May 31, 2022 (stamped arrival date of the uni­versity cent­ral mail ser­vice applies) prefer­ably via the TU Dresden Secure­Mail Portal https://securemail.tu-dresden.de by send­ing it as a single pdf-doc­u­ment to dorothea.golze@tu-dresden.de with the sub­ject “Applic­a­tion for open PhD pos­i­tion/GW” or by mail to: TU Dresden, Fak­ultät Chemie und Lebens­mit­tel­chemie, Pro­fes­sur für The­or­et­ische Chemie, z. Hd. Frau Dr. Dorothea Golze, Helm­holtz­str. 10, 01069 Dresden. Please sub­mit cop­ies only, as your applic­a­tion will not be returned to you. Expenses incurred in attend­ing inter­views can­not be reim­bursed.
