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.

Back to Job listings...
The AI for Electrochemistry (AI4EC) Laboratory has recently established with joint efforts by Tan Kah Kee Innovation Laboratory (IKKEM) led by CAS academician Prof. Zhongqun Tian and AI for Science Institute (AISI) led by CAS academician Prof. Weinan E. It combines the strength of IKKEM and Xiamen University on electrochemistry and the advantage of AISI on practice of AI for Science, with the aim of pushing the limits of the current computational and experimental approaches to address the challenges in electrochemical science and engineering.
The new AI4EC Laboratory is assembling interdisciplinary research teams, and looking for highly motivated and talented individuals to fill a number of positions ranging from junior postdocs to staff scientists at senior level. The Laboratory targets at five key areas:
1. Algorithm development team (e.g. machine learning, electronic structure and sampling methods)
2. Electrochemical science team (e.g. computational electrochemistry, modeling of battery and electrocatalytic materials)
3. Electrochemical engineering team (e.g. device modeling and system optimization)
4. Spectroscopy computation and analysis team (e.g. calculation of vibrational and electronic spectroscopies, spectroscopic data analysis)
5. Extended application team (e.g. catalysis for low carbon energy, semiconductors)
Requirements:
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, computer science, engineering or a related field, with excellent research experience and track of record that fit in the profiles of the above-mentioned areas.
Offer:
Salary and benefits will be commensurate with experience and level of employment.
For example, the base annual salary for postdocs is RMB 300,000, plus a merit award of 100,000 - 300,000 scaling with research excellence.
Staff scientists, depending on the level of employment, are offered with generous salary from RMB ~400,000 up to 800,000, and attractive housing benefit of RMB ~0.5 - 2.5 million, plus subsidy policy of the city (e.g. 55% off the market housing price). Start-up grant is negotiable up to a few million.
N.B. 1 Euro = 7.2 RMB, 1 GBP = 8.2 RMB, 1 US dollar = 6.9 RMB
