Postdoctoral Researcher in Reactive Scattering with Electronic Friction

2 dagen geleden


Leiden, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Universiteit Leiden Voltijd

The Faculty of Science at Leiden University is seeking a highly skilled postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the field of reactive scattering with electronic friction.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in density functional theory calculations, ideally for adsorption on metal surfaces, and a good understanding of molecular dynamics, including Langevin dynamics. They will also have excellent programming skills in Python and at least one other fast programming language, such as Fortran or C.

The project revolves around recent work in Jörg Meyer's group on non-adiabatic effects on reactive scattering of small molecules on metal surfaces. The candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing a new machine-learning model to represent the tensorial electronic friction coefficients of diatomic molecules on metal surfaces.

The position starts by September 1st or earlier upon mutual agreement. We offer a position for 12 months and upon satisfactory performance to be extended for 5 more months. The salary ranges from € 3.226,- to € 5.090,- gross per month, depending on experience.

Leiden University offers an attractive benefits package with additional holiday and end-of-year bonuses, training and career development, and a dual career programme for international spouses.

The Faculty of Science at Leiden University is a world-class faculty where staff and students work together in a dynamic international environment. It is a faculty where personal and academic development are top priorities.

The research carried out at the Faculty of Science is very diverse, ranging from mathematics, information science, astronomy, physics, chemistry and bio-pharmaceutical sciences to biology and environmental sciences.
