Subject: <STRONG>26.05.06 Postdoc Positions in Machine Learning and Ab Initio Simulations: Marx Group</STRONG><br />

<pre>Applications are invited for Postdoctoral Research Associate 
positions in the Marx Group at Bochum (www.theochem.rub.de) 
which are available immediately or upon mutual agreement
for two years with possible extension. The researchers will be 
involved in challenging projects using and/or advancing modern 
ab initio simulation techniques notably in the frame of highly 
accurate machine learning methods (e.g. PRL 129, 226001, 2022; 
JPCL 16, 3727 (2025); JCTC 21, 5382, 2025; JCP 163, 134503, 2025). 
Our reseach is very collaborative and often involves joint 
projects in teams with experimental partners or/and other 
theory groups. Our topics cover e.g. aqueous interfaces, 
vibrational spectroscopy or quantum solvation always using 
and advancing cutting-edge methods such as those based on 
machine learning combined with path integrals; check our 
recent publications. Candidates with an interest in one or 
several of these topics are encouraged to apply. 

The Center for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers an exciting
interdisciplinary research environment and excellent facilities
including several in-house HPC platforms. The Marx Group is 
among the scientific pillars of the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV
(www.solvation.de) and is deeply involved in the Center for
Solvation Science ZEMOS (www.rub.de/zemos), which hosts a 
powerful Core Facility for Simulation. The Research Associates
will take full advantage of being integrated into RESOLV and ZEMOS. 
Furthermore, you will get ample opportunity to actively attend 
international conferences and workshops with full funding.

Candidates should have significant general background in molecular 
dynamics/electronic structure, experience in machine learning
potentials and a PhD in computational/theoretical chemistry/physics.

At Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women 
in areas in which they have been underrepresented, and we would 
therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us their 
applications. Applications by suitable candidates with severe 
disabilities and other applicants with equal legal status are 
likewise most welcome.

Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue
until the positions are filled.</pre>
