Applications are invited for a PhD position in quantum-classical
simulations of excitation dynamics in biological and bio-inspired
systems within the DFG-funded
Research Training Group (RTG) "Quantum Mechanical Materials Modelling
(QM3)" located in Bremen, Germany (www.rtg-qm3.de) . The position is
available in the research group of Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at the
Department of Physics and Earth Sciences, Jacobs University Bremen
(http://ukleinekat.user.jacobs-university.de).
The PhD project will focus on a combination of molecular dynamics
simulations, electronic structure calculations and quantum dynamics to
model the initial steps in light harvesting. The systems will include
complexes with pigments in biological environments but also pigments at
surfaces. Aim is to mimic some of the important properties of biological
systems in man-made systems at surfaces.
The successful candidate should have a Master of Science with a
background in physics or chemistry and a strong academic record.
Applicants must be highly motivated for doctoral studies, possess the
ability to work independently as well as good levels of cooperative and
communicative abilities. A good command of English is essential, both as
the local working language and because of our international collaborations.
The position is available immediately and applications will be
considered until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a CV,
a brief statement of research interests, and the names of two referees
by e-mail to Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at
