We are seeking for a doctoral researcher to work in the GreenCat project funded by Finnish Cultural Foundation. The doctoral researcher will employ density functional theory and density functional theory tight-binding methods together with advanced molecular dynamics simulations to understand the stability of novel carbon-based catalysts in electrocatalytic applications.

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

The eligible candidate should be highly motivated, career-driven, and hold or about to obtain an MSc degree in physics or chemistry. The candidate is also expected to have gained experience on materials modeling. Further experience 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 ability to do research independently.
