Scientific Project Assistant Pre-doctoral in Quantum Chemistry and Computational Materials Science

The University of Vienna invites applications for a pre-doctoral research assistant position focused on the development of new coupled-cluster methods for strongly correlated molecules and materials. The successful candidate will work within an FWF-funded project under Dr. Pavel Pokhilko and Prof. Leticia González’s group, applying these methods to magnetic materials and catalysts. Responsibilities include method development, quantum chemistry applications, C++ programming, and presenting research at conferences. Applicants must hold an MSc in chemistry, physics, or a related field, with experience in quantum mechanics, quantum chemistry, and programming. Fluency in English is required; German is not mandatory.
