Jobbeschreibung

Overview

For Our Theory Group, we are looking for a candidate to contribute to theoretical and computational studies of solids and X-ray spectroscopy. This role involves developing theoretical tools and conducting simulations of electronic structure and spectroscopic spectra, as well as participating in international collaborations and the broader research community.

Responsibilities

• Calculation of electronic structure of solids and theoretical investigation of X-ray absorption spectra (XAS), X-ray emission spectra (XES), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and ARPES spectra
• Modeling of time-dependent electron spectra of solids as a function of XFEL pulse parameters
• Investigation of charge and spin dynamics under the influence of ultra-strong and ultra-fast XFEL pulses
• Probing of non-equilibrium quantum matter with specially shaped XFEL pulses
• Analyses of strong light–matter interaction in different XFEL experiments
• Development of theoretical tools for X-ray spectroscopy of correlated materials

• Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics
• Knowledge of many-electron properties of materials
• Experience in advanced techniques for electronic structure calculations
• Programming skills (C++, Python)

Become part of a vibrant international and multicultural team of scientists, engineers, technical and administrative staff. Be involved in cutting-edge scientific and technical progress and participate in our international networks. Experience our atmosphere of tolerance and respect.

Benefits

• Salary and benefits are similar to those of public service organizations in Germany, including: family-friendly working environment (e.g., additional childcare days)
• Flexible working times and option for work from home depending on tasks
