About this position

CEITEC at Masaryk University in Brno is seeking a PhD student to join the Marek Group and investigate the electronic origins of magnetic resonance.

The project explores the relationship between molecular structure, electronic structure, and spectroscopic properties. Using advanced quantum-chemical methods alongside experimental spectroscopy, the research will examine how molecules respond to magnetic fields and how electronic structure determines magnetic properties, chemical shifts, and hyperfine interactions.

A major focus is the development and application of computational approaches for transition-metal complexes and heavy-element compounds, where relativistic effects and spin–orbit coupling strongly influence molecular electronic structure and spectroscopic observables. Related research directions include paramagnetic molecules, supramolecular systems, and the interaction between molecular interactions and magnetic response.

The Marek Group combines quantum chemistry, NMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, and studies of paramagnetic and heavy-element systems. The student will work with state-of-the-art computational methods and software and benefit from access to advanced NMR instrumentation at CEITEC MU core facilities. The group offers an internationally connected research environment with theoretical and experimental expertise, established collaborators, and opportunities for scientific exchange and professional development.

Funding details

The position is a full-time PhD employment contract with an attractive and competitive salary, supported by secured external research funding. Benefits include six weeks of paid annual leave, medical insurance, contributions toward meals, kindergarten, and pension savings, a Multisport card, mental health support, and access to campus daycare facilities.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MSc degree or equivalent, preferably in physical sciences or a related discipline. Essential qualifications include a strong interest in electronic structure theory and quantum chemistry, good analytical and problem-solving skills, and fluency in written and spoken English. Experience with computational quantum chemistry, particularly density functional theory, programming and scientific computing, theoretical spectroscopy or magnetic resonance methods, and collaborative communication is advantageous. Previous experience with relativistic quantum chemistry, NMR, or EPR spectroscopy is welcome but not essential; motivation, scientific curiosity, and willingness to learn are emphasized. The application must include a motivation letter, detailed CV, academic transcripts for Bachelor's and Master's degrees, and contact information for at least two academic referees.

How to apply

Submit the application through the online application portal by 31 December 2026. Include a motivation letter, detailed CV, Bachelor's and Master's academic transcripts, and contact information for at least two academic referees. For e-application assistance, contact Petra Linhartová at [email protected].
