Job Details
The employee will be responsible for the further development of a workflow environment for the realization of multiscale simulation methods within the framework of the Material Digital platform. In addition, you will work on scientific issues in which multiscale simulations play an important role. Specifically, you will be responsible for the optimization of materials for organic electronics and the computational modeling of adsorption on surfaces. You will support the project partners in the development and implementation of simulations for these projects. You will document the results through publications and presentations.
The methods will be applied to current problems of optimization of materials for organic electronics and computational modeling of adsorption on surfaces in cooperation with materials science research groups at KIT and international/national initiatives and the results will be published in international journals.
The employee is responsible for the Material Digital platform and shall support KIT in the application and implementation of new European/national projects in multiscale simulations. This applies in particular with regard to the acquisition and implementation of third-party funded projects.
Requirements:
You have a university degree (Diplom (Uni)/Master) in physics or chemistry with a doctorate or a university degree in computer science. Professional experience in theoretical physics and simulation methods, as well as good knowledge in the development and application of methods for calculating the electronic structure, molecular mechanics are required. In addition, you have experience with complex simulations and simulation environments as well as programming experience (preferably python).
Company
At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) scientists do research and teach.
They work on important topics. These topics are important to all people.
For example, they ask:
How can energy be generated without harming the environment?
How can you make the Internet secure so no one can steal money or data?
The area of knowledge in which a researcher knows a lot is called the specific field.
The researchers at KIT are very familiar with many different specific fields.
These specific fields are: natural sciences, engineering, economics, humanities, social sciences.
However, the researchers in the city of Karlsruhe do not only want to know their specific fields very well.
They say: Our research should benefit people in everyday life. That is why they try to make many practical inventions.
KIT says: We also want to pass on the knowledge of our researchers to young people.
If they also want to become a specialist in a specific field.
Many come to Karlsruhe to study when they have finished school.
23,300 young people study at KIT.
KIT says: Our students work very closely with the researchers.
That's why they learn so much at KIT.
And they easily find a good job after graduation.
Around 9,600 people work at KIT.
5,400 of them are researchers and teach students.
KIT is therefore one of the major scientific institutions in the continent of Europe.
Because research and teaching at KIT are so important, the KIT is called a Research University.
And it belongs to the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.
That is why KIT is "The Research University in the Helmholtz Association".
