2. One PhD position in theoretical chemistry within the doctoral college Advanced Functional Materials

The Doctoral College Advanced Functional Materials (DCAFM) is looking for 11 new doctoral students for the focus program /Hierarchical Design of Hybrid Systems (HiDHyS)/, funded through a doc.funds project from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). The positions are embedded within the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics (VDSP) and the doctoral training programs at the Faculties of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Vienna.

Focus of HiDHyS is the design of hybrid materials and their structural, mechanical, electronic and magnetic properties. The complexity of these materials is addressed through complementary experimental and computational methods, offering the new doctoral students opportunity for unique training and research experience. More information on DCAFM and HiDHyS is available on the DCAFM website https://dcafm.univie.ac.at/research/hidhys. If you are interested to work with us in theoretical chemistry, check for Team 3 and Project 2: Simulation of light-induced dynamics in complex molecules.

The selected candidates will be employed at the University of Vienna for four years with a planned starting date in October 2020. Applicants are expected to have completed a master’s degree in physics, materials science or chemistry by the time of joining. Employment is for 30h/week as usual for doctoral students and the salary corresponds to the collective bargaining agreement of the University of Vienna https://personalwesen.univie.ac.at/en/jobs-recruiting/job-center/salary-scheme.
