Open Position
We are a young group, curious to understand natural phenomena from a molecular point of view. We are looking for bright and motivated students who are curious to investigate nature and institute new knowledge.
Although we are open to students from any background, however, a strong interest in physical chemistry, chemical physics, statistical mechanics, and programming would be beneficial.
