Junior Research Group Leader and Research Associate Positions:
Ab Initio Biomolecular Simulation
Center for Theoretical Chemistry, University of Bochum, Germany

Applications are invited for a research associate position 
which is available immediately or upon mutual agreement. 
Depending on the applicant there will be the opportunity for
establishing a Junior Research Group and for academic qualification
in the framework of Habilitation.

The ideal candidate should have significant experience in
electronic calculations of complex biomolecular systems and 
reactions, including preferentially multiscale QM/MM-type approaches. 
A PhD in theoretical physics or chemistry is required, as well 
as research experience as a postdoc. She or he will be involved 
in a number of challenging projects in the realms of ab initio 
biomolecular simulation (see e.g. some of our recent papers: 
JACS Commun. 130, (2008) 2768; PNAS 104 (2007) 20725;
PNAS 104 (2007) 6980; JACS 128 (2006) 13815).

Information on the techniques used and developed at CTC are
accessible via www.theochem.rub.de/go/cprev.html. The Center 
for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers an exciting
interdisciplinary research environment and excellent facilities
including several high-performance parallel platforms in house,
