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 hyperfi...

About this position

This postdoctoral research fellow position is based in the Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry (CTI) team at the Institute of Chemical Sciences of Rennes (ISCR), a joint research unit involving CNRS, the University of Rennes, ENSCR and INSA Rennes.

The researcher will investigate relativistic Density Functional Theory (DFT) for excited-state calculations using orbital-optimised, ΔSCF-like methodologies. The work will target f-element-based complexes and contribute to new computational approaches for understanding magnetic properties.

The position is part of the ERC BRUNCH project, which seeks to develop a theoretical and methodological toolbox in relativistic quantum chemistry. Activities include analytical development of relativistic quantum-chemistry formalisms, implementation in an open-source Python platform, and application to model systems. The researcher will also supervise students undertaking research internships and communicate results through publications and conferences.

The CTI team includes theoretical chemists with complementary expertise spanning wave-function methods, semi-empirical approaches and other quantum-chemistry tools. Its research covers isolated molecules, bulk materials and surfaces. The team offers regular meetings, visits from internationally recognised guest speakers, and access to substantial local and national high-performance computing resources.

Funding details

This is a temporary, full-time postdoctoral research fellow position with a 35-hour working week. The position is funded through the Horizon Europe ERC BRUNCH project and offers attractive working conditions and visibility; no salary or stipend amount is stated.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in theoretical chemistry or theoretical physics. Experience in methodological developments is advantageous. Solid knowledge of electronic structure theory, including Density Functional Theory and Wave Function Theory, is expected, along with solid experience using Python and Unix/Linux environments. Applicants should have a good command of scientific English, written and spoken. Basic French is listed, and no prior research experience is specified.
