Pending funding, Universität Hamburg invites applications for a Research Associate for the project “Excitation dynamics of nanoscale systems” in accordance with § 28 (3) of Hamburg’s Higher Education Act (HmbHG*). The position commences on the soonest possible date.

It is remunerated at the salary level TV-L 13 and calls for 19.5 Hours of work per week. The short-term nature of this contract is based upon §2 of the Academic Short-Term Labor Contract Act (WissZeitVG). The term is fixed to a timespan of 3 years.

The University aims to increase the number of women in research and teaching and explicitly encourages women to apply. Equally qualified female applicants will receive preference in accordance with Hamburg’s Higher Education Act (HmbHG).

Tasks:

Duties include academic services in the project named above. Research associates can also pursue independent research and further academic qualifications.

Area(s) of Responsibility:

The newly established group of Prof. Bester, “Theory of nanoscopic systems”, has an opportunity for a PhD project. The group is hosted in the Physical Chemistry division of the Department of Chemistry. It is associated with the Physics as well as the Chemistry departments and has strong ties to the Excellence Cluster “Center of Ultrafast Imaging”

(CUI). The here advertised PhD project involves the calculation of the excited states of nanoscopic materials, including their time dependence, and is in collaboration with experimentalists from the CUI and from the

Department of Physical Chemistry at the University of Hamburg.

The work is interdisciplinary with a focus on solid states physics and quantum chemistry. A successful candidate should have an excellent record in one or some of these areas:

  • Theoretical semiconductor physics with a focus on ab initio methods.
  • Theoretical quantum chemistry with a focus on time dependent calculations.
  • Solid state quantum optics based on solid-state implementations.
  • Scientific programming experience, possibly on parallel architectures (MPI).

Requirements:

A university degree in a relevant subject. This ideally comprises a

M.Sc. (or comparable) in Physics, Chemistry or Nanoscience.

Severely disabled applicants will receive preference over equally qualified non-disabled applicants.

For further information, please contact Prof. Gabriel Bester via the email address given below or consult our website at http://www.chemie.uni-hamburg.de/pc/bester/index.html.

Applications should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and copies of degree certificate(s). The application is open until the position is filled. Please send applications to: gabriel.bester@chemie.uni-hamburg.de
