The group of Prof. Wolfgang Wenzel at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology 
(KIT) is seeking talented postdocs, who will work in one of the 
three research directions: 

	organic semiconductors and/or photoinitiators, 
	conducting metal-organic frameworks or 
	machine learning with the special focus on large language models. 

Positions are connected to the development of multiscale simulation 
methods to work within the 3D Matter Made to Order Excellence Cluster 
at KIT or Virtual Materials Design (VirtMat) at the Institute of 
Nanotechnology at KIT. You will work on the method development, as well 
as the quantum mechanical calculations with applications in organic 
materials or metal-organic frameworks in collaboration with experimental 
groups.

Candidates should have expertise in computational theoretical physics 
or chemistry, or related areas, finalized with the successful PhD degree. 
Documented expertise in electronic structure theory calculations, as well 
as prior involvement in the supervision of students, are required. 

Knowledge of molecular dynamics and/or photochemistry, as well as high 
level quantum mechanics (beyond the density functional theory) are an 
advantage. We expect the ability and desire to work in a heterogeneous 
interdisciplinary environment and the ability to conduct independent 
research. Prior development of complex computational methods and 
appropriate skills in software engineering using state-of-the-art 
object-oriented languages are invited. Successful candidates should 
be able to demonstrate programming skills in high-level languages, 
such as python or C++.

Inquiries should be directed via open calls available here:

	organic semiconductors and/or photoinitiators,
