University assistant predoctoral

51 Faculty of Physics
Startdate: 01.02.2026 Working hours: 30 Collective bargaining agreement: 48 VwGr. B1 Grundstufe (praedoc)
Limited until: 31.01.2029
Reference no.: 5008

Explore and teach at the University of Vienna, where more than 7,500 academics thrive on curiosity in continuous exploration and help us better understand our world. Does this sound like you? Then join our accomplished team!

About the team:

This is an opportunity to work towards a PhD in physics and to conduct world-leading research and teaching in molecular simulation and computational materials discovery.

Fuel cells, photovoltaic devices, photocatalytic converters they all are crucial elements in delivering decarbonization and sustainable energy production at a global scale within the coming decades. They all fundamentally involve energy transfer and chemical dynamics at interfaces where molecules, electrons, and light interact to deliver a certain function. The underlying mechanisms of ultrafast dynamics at surfaces triggered by light or electrons are not well understood, which, for example, limits our ability to design photocatalyst materials that deliver optimal light absorption, catalytic activity, and energy transport. Molecular simulation methods and quantum theoretical calculations in principle can address this but have hitherto struggled with tackling such challenging systems. With the emergence of machine learning methods in the physical sciences, things are rapidly changing. This project is part of a large initiative that aims to tackle this ambitious challenge by developing and applying new software tools that combine machine learning methodology, electronic structure theory, and molecular dynamics methodology to simulate ultrafast chemical dynamics at surfaces and in materials.

Your personal sphere of influence:

As a university assistant (praedoc), you will be part of the Computational Materials Discovery group of Professor Reinhard Maurer. This project will focus on the simulation of light-driven chemical reactions at surfaces. By combining mixed quantum-classical dynamics methods with machine-learning surrogate models of energy landscapes and quantum mechanical operators, important photochemical reactions such as CO hydrogenation and hydrogen oxidation reactions will be studied. A key outcome of this project will be the design of nanostructured catalyst materials to provide optimal reaction selectivity and activity and improved understanding of energy conversion mechanisms based on electron-phonon coupling. You will contribute to the development of new dynamics software and machine learning methods for the computational design of catalyst materials.

The employment duration is 3 years. Initially limited to 1.5 years, the employment relationship is automatically extended to 3 years if the employer does not terminate it within the first 12 months by submitting a declaration of non-extension. With appropriate work progress, an extension to a total maximum of 4 years is possible.

Your future tasks:

You will actively participate in research, teaching & administration. This means:

• You are involved in a curiosity-driven research project in the field of electronic structure theory and ultrafast quantum dynamics.
• You will present your research plan to the faculty and complete a dissertation agreement within 12-18 months. This will be reviewed and adapted on an annual basis.
• You will work on your dissertation and towards its completion in time. We expect a large degree of independence paired with a high level of social awareness as the goal will only be achieved in a team.
• You will contribute to teaching (exercise classes) within the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement.
• You will fill some administrative tasks, contributing to the success and self-organization of the group for research, teaching and administration.
• You will continuously stay informed about the state of the art in your field.
• You will contribute to outreach by publications, conference presentations and public activities.

Candidate profile:

• You have completed your Master's degree or Diploma in physics.
• You have experience in academic writing.
• You have an interest and background in condensed matter theory, quantum theory, and electronic structure theory.
• You have an excellent command of written and spoken English.
• You should have experience with programming (e.g. Python, Julia) and simulation methods (e.g. molecular and quantum dynamics.
• Your scientific curriculum vitae.

What we offer:

In the Maurer group, we aim to develop computational simulation methodology to study quantum phenomena at surfaces with applications ranging from photocatalysis to nanotechnology and electrochemistry. Our goal is to combine electronic structure theory, molecular and quantum dynamics methodology, and machine learning methods to achieve an accurate yet computationally feasible description of complex phenomena in materials and at solid/gas and solid/liquid interfaces. You will join a large, international and interdisciplinary research group that provides a collaborative and supportive environment. Our team is a member of the Vienna Doctoral School in Physics, the faculty research group Computational Materials Physics, and the Centre of Excellence on Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage (MECS CoE). PhD students in the group acquire important transferable skills such as software development and project management. You will present your research at international and national conferences.

Inspiring working atmosphere: You are a part of an international academic team in a healthy and fair working environment.

Potential for development: Success in life depends on what you make of it, but if you are ambitious and self-driven, there are plenty of opportunities to connect you to all relevant top research groups in the world.

Good public transport connection: Your new workplace is easily accessible by public transport.

Internal further training & coaching: The Vienna Doctoral School as well as the Department of Human Resources offer plenty of opportunities to grow your skills in over 600 courses to choose from free of charge.

Fair salary: The basic salary of EUR 3.776,10 (on a full-time basis, 14x p.a.) increases if we can credit professional experience.

Equal opportunities for everyone: We strive to create a fair and equitable work environment, where diversity is an asset and individuals can flourish.

It is that easy to apply:

• A summary of your previous academic and research achievements. Tell us about your moments of professional pride.
• A short statement on your research interests for the future (motivation letter). Tell us what you dream about, scientifically.
• Your Bachelor s and Master s degree: an excellent academic degree is a good entrance statement for this position.
• Note, that while a Master s degree is the usual legal prerequisite for a PhD position at the University of Vienna, we can consider Bachelors (preferentially with Honors) in exceptional cases, too.
