Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Computational Chemist position at Daresbury, UK (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Are you an experienced Computational Chemist? We now have an opportunity for someone with experience in high performance computing (HPC) and data intensive science to join the Chemistry & Materials team at the STFC Hartree Centre, located on the campus of Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire, UK. The team works on a variety of research projects using atomistic and mesoscale simulation and has pioneered the deployment of these methods in industrial product design and optimisation. We specialise in applying computer aided formulation and computational chemistry to real industrial problems working with a range of leading companies in industry sectors including home and personal care, agrochemicals and lubricants. The role will focus on industrially applicable research projects aligned with the Hartree Centre chemistry and materials programme where we are developing data analytics, modelling, and simulation capabilities to address a broad variety of chemical and materials problems at cutting-edge scale and accuracy.
We are seeking adaptable scientists who can, and are, interested in applying themselves to multiple areas including writing and running applications for different industrial sectors (e.g. surface science, formulation, polymers, composites etc.), coding and scripting, and who may have prior experience with developing parameter sets or force-fields, as well as experience in the application of density functional theory to the modelling of condensed matter.
You should have a broad interest in multidisciplinary applications. A very high level of drive, enthusiasm and focus on the achievement of goals is anticipated. You will be able to show knowledge in machine learning, data science or cheminformatics methods. Ideal candidates will demonstrate an understanding of how a combination of these approaches can be applied to solve industry challenges. Ability to deliver on multiple projects simultaneously is crucial to thriving in this role.
Deadline for applications: 31 October 2021. For more details on the person specification and how to apply, please visit the link below:
