Postdoctoral Position in Quantum Friction at Solid-Liquid Interfaces Ruhr University Bochum in Germany

Postdoctoral position at Ruhr University Bochum in simulation of quantum friction at solid-liquid interfaces.

The position is linked to the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (Solvation Science), an interdisciplinary research environment at Ruhr University Bochum focused on how solvents mediate chemical reactions and interfacial processes. The project sits at the intersection of Physics, Chemistry, and Materials Science, with emphasis on condensed matter theory, electronic structure methods, many-body physics, molecular simulations, and quantum energy dissipation in nanoscale systems.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science. Strong computational skills and scientific programming experience are highly desirable. The post also mentions close collaboration with experimental groups, making it suitable for candidates interested in theory-computation collaboration and interfacial phenomena.

Funding details are not specified in the post, but this is a research postdoctoral opening within RESOLV at Ruhr University Bochum. The opportunity is associated with a major excellence cluster supported in its third funding period (2026–2032).

To apply, email Prof. Marialore Sulpizi with a motivation letter and CV, and include the names and contact details of two referees. No formal deadline is stated in the post.
