Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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 Materials Engineer/Scientist at NE ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Research and Innovation Center, Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) directorate is recruiting a staff member for the Computational Materials Engineering (CME) team.
The CME investigations focus on energy technologies that will minimize the environmental impact of fossil fuels and contribute to meeting the national goal of net-zero CO2 emissions for power production. Particularly, CME research aims to accelerate the development of materials with optimized performance under realistic working conditions, to increase the efficiency of energy conversion systems, and to identify materials’ characteristics at different time and length scales that ultimately govern the end-use performance in energy technologies. The CME team is immersed in a collaborative working environment and leverages different capabilities at NETL including Materials Engineering and Manufacturing directorate, Energy Conversion Engineering directorate and Science-based Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Institute. The emphasis of the new CME hire is to expand the current team’s capabilities that span quantum, atomic, molecular, and mesoscale simulation areas. Of particular interest are scientists with demonstrated expertise in the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods as applied to multiscale simulations of materials, and are able to bridge the gap between quantum, atomistic, meso- and continuum scales. Potential applications include, but are not limited to, modeling of alloys, energy conversion, corrosion, gas capture and separation, and materials performance. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or chemical engineering.
