The Materials Informatics Laboratory of Prof. Milica Todorović at the University of Turku (FI) has opened 4 Postdoctoral/PhD positions ready to start in summer 2023. Successful candidates would develop sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and apply them to tasks like materials design and the optimisation of materials properties and processing technologies.
 
1) AI-accelerated aerosol surface chemistry search (PhD/Postdoc). You will apply DFT to simulate the growth of thin films or organic molecules at the surface of atmospheric aerosols and develop ML approaches to combine experimental and computational data. 
 
2) Natural language processing for materials discovery (Postdoc). You will advance new NLP techniques to learn the atomistic structures of inorganic materials and infer novel structural variations and material-property relationships. 
 
3) Data fusion for optimising materials recovery in recycling (Postdoc). Your objective is to integrate scientific knowledge, simulation and experimental data into joint data models to optimise the recovery of materials in battery recycling loops.  
 
4) SmartFab optimisation of fabrication outcomes (Postdoc) In collaboration with industrial partners, you will be applying AI tools directly to experimental data and developing new approaches to optimise materials and processes with modest data sets.
 
We welcome candidates with a background in physics, chemistry, materials science or computer science who are curious about applied machine learning in natural sciences. Prior experience with coding, ab initio materials simulations and machine learning experience is a bonus. We seek colleagues who enjoy programming, scripting and analytics, and are keen to push the boundaries of computational materials research. These projects require creative thinking, technical skills and a broad understanding of materials structure and properties.
 
More information on the positions and application guidelines are available here. The application deadline is 21.05.2023. We would like the successful candidates to start as soon as possible.
