Scalebridging Simulation of Functional Composites
In order to fill a fixed-term position in part-time, full-time (39.83 hours/week = 100%) at the earliest possible date, we are looking for 1
Research associates (m/f/x) in the group Scalebridging Simulation of Functional Composites
The young group Scale-bridging simulation of functional materials is part of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Advanced Materials Simulations“ (ICAMS) and works at the edge between theoretical solid state physics and computational material science. We focus on the impact of atomistic and microstructure on functional properties particularly in ferroelectric materials. For this purpose we use and develop further ab initio based simulation methods.
As new team member, you will work in the DFG-funded project Decodeo: (https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/560576428) Defect complexes and domain walls: an ab initio based scale-bridging study on ferroelectrics. You will carry out computer simulations on the HPC cluster Elysium, analyse and publish the results and contribute to software development and coding.
Your tasks:
- Atomistic simluations (DFT, MD, MC)
- Coding and method developement
- Data analysis and visualization
Your profile:
- Master or diploma in Physics, Material Science, or similar
- Strong background in the modelling of ferroic materials, defects, and phonons on the atomistic scale (DFT, MD)
- Experience with MC-simulations, ML and coarse-grained methods are a benefit
- Good programming skills in python and Fortran
- Excellent English skills
- Ability to work independently and in an international interdisciplinary team
We offer:
- Challenging and varied tasks with a high level of independence
- Employment at one of the largest universities in Germany within the University Alliance Ruhr
- Options for flexible working (mobile working and teleworking)
- Collaboration in a committed and appreciative team
- ICAMS is a leading institute for scale-bridging material simulations
Further information:
The position is salaried and based on the collective agreement of the Länder (TV-L). If the personal and collective agreement requirements are met, the employee will receive pay grade E13 TV-L.

The place of work is Ruhr University Bochum.The position is generally suitable for part-time work. If the position is funded by third-party funds the employee has no teaching obligation.
German language courses are offered by the University Language Center (ZFA) in the field of German as a Foreign Language (DaF). https://www.daf.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sbgk/index.html.en
The Staff Council has the right to participate in all selection interviews. At the request of a candidate (m/f/x), it will ensure its participation in the entire procedure. Please contact [email protected].
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
