Chemical Raw Materials Manufacturing

ExoMatter

11-50

Germany

We are looking for an exceptional theoretical materials scientist to join ExoMatter as a Research Scientist. In this role, you will be researching methods for the calculation of materials properties and modelling of inorganic systems to further develop our Materials R&D platform.

Become part of a young deep tech and software startup based in Munich and revolutionize materials development with us. ExoMatter is a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and part of the UnternehmerTUM family of startups. We have a first product on the market with paying customers like Airbus and BSH and a strong upward trajectory.

**Why are we doing this?**

Our mission is to challenge the status quo of materials development to reduce the worldwide ecological footprint and increase the innovation speed.

**We need you to succeed!**

Do you think along these lines?

1.  If you are equally convinced that only with more efficient materials, can we tackle the climate crisis
2.  You are a maker and want to turn visions into reality. See your impact directly!

You love working in a dynamic team: trusting, exchanging feedback, and taking responsibility is most crucial.

## Tasks

As a Research Scientist, you will join the Science Team to leverage our platform for high-throughput calculations

*   You will research and develop methods to calculate properties of materials, mainly inorganic solids, using atomistic simulations and thermodynamics modeling.
*   Part of your time, you will work in a collaborative project with one of our research partners and communicate results with them
*   You will work in an agile way with stringent requirements and timelines
*   You stay up to date about current scientific developments in your field
*   You ensure a high quality of results and a high standard of documentation

## Requirements

*   You hold a degree in Computational Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Materials Engineering or similar, ideally with a PhD
*   You have a solid background with first-principles calculations and Machine Learning-based methods for materials simulation, ideally across multiple length and time scales 
*   You have a strong background in solid-state physical chemistry, especially on crystalline solids
*   You have a good understanding of CALPHAD methods and thermodynamic simulations
*   Fluent in spoken and written English, German skills are a plus
*   You live in Munich or want to move to Munich within 3-4 months and are then willing to work ca. 50% of your time on-site

**Not required, but a plus:**

*   You are familiar with quantum computing for materials simulation (quantum computing-based materials simulation & quantum machine learning)
*   3+ years of professional experience outside of a PhD thesis

## Benefits

*   Competitive package of salary, (virtual) stock options, and benefits
*   Attractive company culture in an early-stage startup
*   50 EUR per month pf public transportation ticket for Munich and entire Germany (Deutschlandticket) covered
*   Flexible work hours with strong focus on work-life balance far beyond industry standard
*   Free choice between latest ThinkPads or MacBooks for personal and private use
*   Full time position, part-time work possible upon agreement
*   Hybrid work with flexible arrangement between on-site work in new Munich office and remote work

Start date: Feb-Mar 2025
