Full Professor (W3) for Theory of Quantum Materials

Full Professor (W3) for Theory of Quantum Materials

RWTH Aachen University

Jülich, Germany

We are seeking an outstanding individual with the ability to lead a large cutting-edge institute in the field of theoretical and computational materials physics research. Its focus lies on quantum and functional materials that are relevant for fundamental research and practical applications for emerging beyond von Neumann computing paradigms with avenues for molecular, superconducting, semiconducting, and topological as well as spintronic and memristive devices.

The ideal candidate would lead dynamic research in materials simulations, developing and applying a range of methodologies. Current strengths of the institute are to be continued. These include density functional theory and many-body techniques, transport and response theory, atomistic and molecular spin dynamics, high-throughput and high-performance computing. Additional areas of interest include, but are not limited to, artificial intelligence-enhanced and quantum computing-based materials design, as well as nonequilibrium phenomena.

Requirements include a university degree, a doctoral degree, and additional research experience, e.g., evidenced through a habilitation (post-doctoral lecturing qualification), or equivalent accomplishments as a university researcher or junior professor or in a research position in a university, a research institution, in industry, administration, or in another societal setting. The candidate should bring the ability to manage and lead a large interdisciplinary and diverse institute division. Furthermore, good teaching skills are expected.
