Postdoctoral Research Associate in Physics / Chemistry | Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (Postdoktorand*in) fb13-0007-wmz-2026
Philipps-Universität Marburg
Job Summary
This full-time postdoctoral position at the University of Marburg's Department of Physics focuses on the theoretical and computational material modeling of solid-liquid interfaces. The successful candidate will spend their day-to-day developing and applying atomistic simulation methods based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) to describe electrochemical interfaces under potential control. Key responsibilities include investigating reaction mechanisms at semiconductor surfaces, performing large-scale simulations on high-performance computing (HPC) systems, and interpreting spectroscopic signatures. Beyond research, the role involves teaching duties and supervising students. This position is ideal for researchers looking to advance their academic qualifications within an international environment. It offers a 2-year fixed-term contract, access to cutting-edge HPC infrastructure, and a 'Landesticket' for free public transport across the state of Hessen.
