Employment type: Limited Working hours: Full-Time Joblocation: Renningen Quantum computing potential offers orders of magnitude faster quantum-mechanical calculations for materials simulation at a much higher accuracy than classical ab-initio methods on conventional high-performance computers. It thus allows true computational design of, e.g. new materials to improve catalytic processes or understanding of degradation phenomena on the atomistic level, which involves knowledge-based optimization of load, process and operational conditions in devices like fuel cells. In this PhD thesis you will focus on the development and testing of hybrid quantum-classical workflows, simulation tools as well as quantum-algorithms. The research of relevant models for simulating industrially relevant materials on a near-term quantum computer is part of your area of responsibility.

Education: excellent degree in Physics, Chemistry, or Computational Science with focus in theoretical solid-state, Physics Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Computing or related fields Experience and Knowledge: additional knowledge and experience in density functional theory, Hubbard models or quantum circuits is a benefit, excellent communication skills, programming experience (e.g., python, Fortran, C) Personality and Working Practice: you are not only an open and outgoing team player but also a self-motivated, curious and inquisitive person who likes to use their creativity; you so know how to work independently, quickly understand logical processes and always keep an eye on the goals Languages: business fluent in English, knowledge in desired

Work-life balance: Flexible working in terms of time, place and working model. Health & Sports: Wide range of health and sports activities. Childcare: Intermediary service for childcare services. Employee discounts: Discounts for employees. Room for creativity: Space for creative work. In-house social counseling and care services: Social counselling and intermediary service for care services.
