Postdoc researcher


The Faculty of Production Engineering at the University of Bremen is seeking to fill a position of Postdoc researcher (TVL-EG13) within the Conrad-Naber Chair “Hybrid Materials Interfaces” (Prof. Lucio Colombi Ciacchi). The initial appointment will be for two years with possibility of renewals.

Project background and scientific environment

The project will deal with the atomistic modeling of the structure, electronic structure and growth mechanisms of magnetic thin films fabricated by means of biomimetic mineralization processes, using a variety of quantum mechanical and classical simulation methods.

Funding is provided within the DFG Priority Programme 1569 “Generation of multifunctional inorganic materials by molecular bionics”, thus offering an ideal collaboration framework with high-level German groups working in the same field. The simulation work is embedded within the Bremen Centre of Computational Materials Science (BCCMS) and will be conducted in a tandem experimental collaboration with the Advanced Ceramics group (Prof. Kurosch Rezwan) at the University of Bremen.

Requisites

Applicants are expected to possess a PhD degree, previous experience with quantum mechanical modeling of materials and/or biological systems as well as excellent knowledge of programming languages and parallel electronic structure codes.

As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science,women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification disabled persons will be given priority. We welcome applications of people with migrant background.

Application Procedure

Please send your electronic application as a single PDF file including: (1) cover letter; (2)curriculum vitae with publication list; (3) a one-page summary of previous research activities and (4) the contact details of at least two reference persons using reference number A 28/12 to:

Prof. Lucio Colombi Ciacchi
Fachbereich Produktionstechnik, Universität Bremen
