• Develop and apply state-of-the-art electronic structure methods to simulate organic quantum materials
• Method development, i.e., quantum embedding techniques and diagrammatic electronic structure approaches
• Software development and high-performance computing applications

Qualifications

• Masters degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related field
• Strong background in theoretical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and/or electronic structure theory
• Programming experience (preferably in Python); familiarity with Linux and high-performance computing
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work both independently and in a team
• Strong written and spoken English skills

What to expect

• A dynamic, highly motivated young research group with close scientific mentoring
• Access to international collaborations and an interdisciplinary research environment at the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld
• Training opportunities, including participation in summer/winter schools and conferences
• Access to state-of-the-art computing facilities
• Living in the vibrant city of Hamburg with a rich cultural scene and an international atmosphere
