About Us

We use highperformance computing on supercomputers and parallel clusters to solve complex problems in physics that would otherwise be impossible to solve via analytical methods. Our main research areas are presently to understand the physics of soft matter systems in general with a particular emphasis on magnetic gels active matter and biopolymers.

Your Tasks

We are seeking highly motivated candidates for PhD or postdoctoral positions in the field of computational soft matter physics. Thesis topics can be in the fields of soft magnetic materials such as magnetic gels the growth and active motion of bacteria in complex environments and sustainable polymers derived from byproducts of the food industry.

The projects focus on simulations using a range of methods including coarsegrained and atomistic molecular dynamics systematic coarsegraining machine learning and continuum solvers for hydrodynamics such as the latticeBoltzmann method.


Among other tools we use the opensource simulation package ESPResSo (https://espressomd) which is also primarily developed at our institute.

Your Profile

Key Qualifications:

  1. A Masters degree in Physics or related degree in natural sciences
  2. A strong sense of curiosity and perseverance to tackle interesting and complex problems both individually and as part of a team.
  3. Previous experience in numerical methods and simulation. Programming experience in Python and/or C is an asset.
  4. A willingness to collaborate closely with experimentalists.

This opportunity is ideal for candidates who are passionate about using advanced computational techniques to address meaningful challenges in soft matter science.
To apply please attach a cover letter CV academic transcripts and contact information for two references.

Your Benefits

At the Institute for Computational Physics we offer a supportive and motivating environment ideal for fostering collaborative relationships with both experimentalists and theoreticians. We provide ample opportunities for you to present your research at international conferences. With its Cluster of Excellence for DataIntegrated Simulation Science and close ties to the HighPerformance Computing Center (HLRS) the University of Stuttgart is an excellent place for simulationbased research.

Both engaging courses on highperformance computing and access to stateoftheart computing facilities are available.
