Barnard College
About Barnard College
Basic information and contact details for Barnard College
Barnard College, based in New York City, was founded in 1889 in response to Columbia University's then-refusal to admit women onto academic programmes. Today, it stands as one of the oldest women's colleges in the world, and the only women's college in the city.
When Columbia University became coeducational in 1983, Barnard College decided to remain legally and financially separate but affiliated with the university. This means that some selected academic and athletic programmes are combined. Students also have the chance to pursue elements of their education at the Juilliard School and The Jewish Theological Seminary.
Barnard's 4-acre campus is based in Manhattan and is directly across from Columbia's campus and several other academic institutions are in the vicinity.
Barnard offers courses in around 50 areas of study, primarily relating to the arts. However joint programmes within science exist when in conjunction with other universities. The most popular subjects on offer at the college are english, psychology, political science, economics, history, and biology.
An annual festival is held at Barnard Now called the Athena Film Festival, which is a celebration of women and leadership. It is a weekend of feature films, documentaries and shorts that highlight women’s leadership in real life and the fictional world. The four-day festival includes conversations with directors and talent and workshops for aspiring filmmakers.
The Barnard Library offers study space, librarians' offices, the zine collection – documents movements and trends in feminism in the form of personal work of artists, writers, and activists – and archives and special collections.
Student groups available at the college include: theatre and vocal music groups, language clubs, a freeform radio station called WBAR, a biweekly magazine called the Barnard Bulletin, community service groups, alongside many others.
In accordance with wider policies across the US, Barnard College issued a statement affirming its commitment to environmental sustainability, hoping to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2017.
Notable alumni include Joan Rivers, the American comedian, actress, writer, producer, Anna Marie Quindlen, an American author, journalist, and award-winning opinion columnist at the New York Times, and Lauren Helen Graham, an American actress, producer and novelist, best known for her role in Gilmore Girls.

Austria, Vienna Danubepier Hov
At the University of Vienna more than 10,000 personalities work together towards answering the big questions of the future. Around 7,500 of them do research and teaching, around 2,900 work in administration and organisation. We are looking for a/an 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).
