Open Positions

Interested in doing a Bachelor Thesis / Master thesis / Phd Thesis or a post-doc in our group?

We constantly seek new group members from Chemistry, Molecular Science, Physics and related fields.

Application-related topics:

• Catalysis with liquid metals (SCALMS)
  (in cooperation with groups Wasserscheid and Steinrück)
• Calculation of molecular structures on surfaces
  e.g., of organic molecules or graphene layers on metal/metal oxide surfaces (structure, band structure, bonding ratios)
  (in cooperation with groups Steinrück / Libuda)
• Homogeneous catalysis
  e.g., enantioselective organocatalysis
  (in cooperation with groups Tsogoeva and Wasserscheid)
• Materials for (electro)chemical energy conversion and storage
  (in cooperation with groups Hirsch, Libuda, Steinrück, Bachmann)
• Identification of adsorption sites of small molecules by characteristic molecular vibrations
  (in cooperation with Libuda group)
• Structure and energetics of new carbon allotropes
  (in cooperation with Hirsch group)

Method development topics:

• Optimization of novel density-functionals to describe correlation energy
• Further development of new density-functional methods for excited states and optical properties
• Development and application of novel band structure methods for solids and surfaces considering magnetic effects and spin-orbit interaction
