Job Summary

This part-time (50%) research position at the University of Marburg offers a dedicated pathway to earning a doctorate within the Department of Chemistry. The successful candidate will join Professor Robert Berger's research group to conduct theoretical investigations into finite nuclear effects in molecular systems, alongside research on molecular spectroscopy and dynamics within static external fields. Day-to-day responsibilities include providing scientific services in research and teaching, performing quantum chemical descriptions of molecular systems, and utilizing specialized computational software. This role is ideal for a dedicated scientist looking to advance their academic career in an interdisiplinary environment. The position is attractive due to its structured support for early-career researchers through the Marburg Research Academy (MARA) and the opportunity to work at a historic, prestigious institution while completing a PhD under a formal state employment contract (TV-H E13).
