*   You will communicate and present your results to our customers who often do not have a background in chemistry
*   You manage the implementation and ensure that timelines are met

*   You have excellent communication and project management skills
*   You have experience in first-principles methods, especially in DFT
*   You are familiar with Materials Informatics and have worked with resources such as The Materials Project, NOMAD, or OQMD before
*   You know how to run commands on a Linux server
*   You show a high degree of responsibility and ownership
*   You have first work experience outside of research institutes
*   You are fluent in English, German proficiency is a plus
*   Startup experience is a plus
*   You live in Munich or are willing to move there within 3 months

## Benefits

*   Flexible work hours with a strong focus on work-life balance far beyond industry standard (35 h/week contract)
*   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 our new Munich office (Münchner Technologiezentrum MTZ) and remote work
