Job description

Offer DescriptionFields of Expertise – Advanced Materials ScienceResearch in the Field of Expertise Advanced Materials Science – one of the five research areas at Graz University of Technology – aims to understand the smallest components in their structure and function, to develop new materials and to assemble them in special processes. It’s all about designing new and improving existing materials and tailoring them to be more flexible, efficient, cheaper, and sustainable. The researchers in this Field of Expertise work primarily with structural and functional materials for the areas of energy technology, electronics, separation technologies, lightweight construction and medical technology in basic and application-oriented research.For this position, we are seeking a highly qualified and scientifically excellent person who has committed her/his/their research on advanced computational techniques to model and simulate materials and chemical systems, by implementing machine learning approaches and/or big data mining in the field of materials chemistry or physical chemistry. The selected person will collaborate closely with experimentalists including materials scientists and chemists to bridge the gap between theory and experimentation, driving innovation and problem-solving. The position is promoted by the interfaculty Field of Expertise (FoE) “Advanced Materials Science” (AMS) and thus a multidisciplinary research strategy is highly favored.The scientific focus of the candidate should strengthen and complement one of the strategic themes of the Field of Expertise Advanced Materials Science focusing on energy materials, sensor materials, thin films, soft matter, semiconductors, porous materials, functional (bio-based/bio-degradable) polymeric materials, or chemical aspects enabling the progress of advanced materials.In addition, we expect willingness to engage in interdisciplinary cooperation inside and outside of TU Graz (e.g. NAWI Graz), and cooperation across faculty borders within the TU Graz Field of Expertise „Advanced Materials Science”.More information on the FoE Advanced Materials Science can be found atBased on the research and teaching focus, the candidate will be assigned to a matching institute and faculty that participate in this Field of Expertise specifically in Chemistry or Physics.

• PhD-level university education in disciplines relevant for the position
• Outstanding achievements in research, excellent publication record and international reputation.
• International experience in form of a PhD or Post-Doc.
• Experience in the design and implementation of international research projects as well as willingness and ability to establish and lead a research group.
