Postdoc position in numerical simulations of condensed matter (University of Technology, Darmstadt)

A postdoctoral position is opened in modelling of crystal growth and general theoretical physical chemistry at the department of Physical Chemistry at University of Technology, Darmstadt.

The principal activity consists in developing theoretical models for crystal growth of biominerals. The focus of the project is related to numerical simulations of soft matter systems.

key references: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 45 (2006) 1905. and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 45 (2006) 1911.

The project involves a close collaboration with experimentalists and theoreticians at the Max Planck Institut fuer Chemische Physik fester Stoffe in Dresden.

The position is opened for up to three years. Place of work will be at the University of Technology in Darmstadt. Candidates should have published their
research activities in the fields of theoretical physics, physical chemistry, computer science, or in other related disciplines.

Excellent writing and communication skills, as well as experience in scientific programming, numerical simulations, and Linux are desired.

Applicants should send an application email including their CV, a brief statement of research experiences and a description of research interests to Prof. Dr. Juergen Brickmann (jobs@molcad. de).

The CV should include a full list of publications and a list of at least 2 letters of recommendations.
