We seek a doctoral researcher to work on the GreenCat project, which has its motivation and objectives related to the green transition in catalysis. The doctoral researcher will employ density-functional theory, density-functional tight-binding methods, and advanced molecular dynamics simulations to understand the stability of novel carbon-based catalysts in electrocatalytic applications.

The candidate will work together with the groups of Prof. Pekka Koskinen (Department of Physics) and Prof. Karoliina Honkala (Department of Chemistry) at the Nanoscience Center of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland.

The eligible candidate should be highly motivated, hold or is about to obtain an MSc degree in physics or chemistry, and have some experience in materials modeling. Know-how in programming, computational scripting, supercomputer infrastructures, and machine learning is an advantage. In addition to good academic success, the candidate should have good written and oral communication skills in English and the capacity to do research independently.
