Postdoctoral Researcher in Machine Learning Potentials and Theoretical Chemistry | Postdoctoral Researcher (m,f,x) in Machine Learning Potentials, Theoretical Chemistry II, Research A

Job Summary

This full-time postdoctoral position at the Chair of Theoretical Chemistry II at Ruhr-Universität Bochum offers an exceptional opportunity to work at the intersection of machine learning and materials science. As part of the Research Alliance Ruhr, you will focus on the development and parameterization of machine learning interatomic potentials and the implementation of novel algorithms into scientific software packages. Day-to-day responsibilities include generating training data through electronic structure calculations, conducting atomistic simulations, and presenting findings at international conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. The role is ideal for researchers with a PhD in a relevant field and strong programming skills who wish to work in a state-of-the-art high-performance computing environment. This position is particularly attractive due to its interdisciplinary nature and its location within a major research initiative in the North Rhine-Westphalia region, providing excellent networking opportunities across three major universities.
