Research Associate / Postdoctoral Fellowship Position:
  Ab Initio Biomolecular Simulation in Prebiotic Chemistry
  Center for Theoretical Chemistry, University of Bochum, Germany

Applications are invited to apply for a Postdoctoral Research Associate 
position, which is available immediately or upon mutual agreement.

The ideal candidate should have significant experience in computational
chemistry, electronic calculations of complex biomolecular systems, 
and knowledge about chemical reactions in general. A PhD in computational 
or theoretical chemistry or physics is required. She or he will be 
involved in a number of challenging projects in the realms of ab initio 
biomolecular simulation and, in particular, in the interdisciplinary 
field of prebiotic chemistry (see e.g. some of our recent papers: 
JACS 131 (2009) 13668; JACS 130 (2008) 14148;
JACS Commun. 130 (2008) 2768; JACS 128 (2006) 13815). 

Information on the techniques used and developed at CTC are accessible 
via www.theochem.rub.de/go/cprev.html or can be found in the monograph 
D. Marx and J. Hutter, Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics: Basic Theory and 
Advanced Methods (Cambridge University Press, 2009). 
The Center for Theoretical Chemistry at RUB offers an exciting
interdisciplinary research environment and excellent facilities
including several high-performance parallel platforms in house,
see www.theochem.rub.de/go/jobs.html.

Candidates should send a detailed resume including an outline
of their research achievements and interests as well as contact 
information to obtain academic references to:

Professor Dominik Marx      
Lehrstuhl fuer Theoretische Chemie  
Ruhr-Universitaet Bochum

There is no deadline. 
Consideration of candidates will begin immediately and continue
until the position is filled. The University particularly welcomes
applications from women.
