Dear Colleagues,
One PhD position in Computational Chemistry/Materials Science is
available in the group of Dr. Ralf Tonner at the Department of Chemistry
and Material Sciences Centre of Philipps-Universität Marburg/Germany.
*The position is available from October 01 2015.*
The project will deal with
*
*
*„Theoretical description of chemical reactions involved in organic and
inorganic functionalization of semiconductors“.*
With the help of ab initio computations, elementary steps in the
deposition process for func-tionalized semiconductors will be
investigated including gas phase reactivity and reaction mechanisms at
the surface. Periodic density functional theory, quantum chemistry,
molecular dynamics and kinetic modelling are key methods here. Analysis
of the electronic structure in molecular and periodic systems is a
specific expertise in our group and will guide the compu-tational
experiments.
The position is situated in the framework of the interdisciplinary
Research Training Group (RTG) "Functionalization of semiconductors".
This RTG was established in 2012 as a project of the German Science
Foundation (DFG) at Philipps-Universität Marburg.
It is a collaborative project of the Departments of Chemistry and
Physics and the Material Sciences Centre. The RTG is committed to basic
and applied research in a technologically highly relevant area. It aims
amongst others in the integration of III/V-semiconductors on
Si-substrates. A further research emphasis is put on the understanding
and application of self-assembly of novel organic functionalities on
planar semiconductors as well as on nano-particles.
Candidates should hold an excellent University degree in natural
sciences (e.g. physics, chem-istry, material sciences; Master/Diploma or
equivalent). Experience in at least one of the following topics is
required: quantum chemistry, density functional theory, simulation of
re-activity in extended systems. Knowledge in kinetic modelling, ab
initio molecular dynamics or computation of systems relevant for
material science is of advantage. Applicants should be enthusiastic and
self-motivated and have a genuine interest in working in an
interdisciplinary environment. Excellent language skills in German or
English, flexibility, and ability for team-work are required.
The project will involve close collaboration with experimental groups
from synthetic chemistry, experimental and theoretical physics and
material science at the Philipps-Universität Marburg.
