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
