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.

SUMMARY: A Postdoctoral position is available for immediate start at SLAC / Stanford in the development of machine learning(ML) models for catalyst degradation. We are seeking a highly qualified candidate with a detailed understanding of heterogeneous catalysis as well as extensive experience with machine learning. Experience with theoretical/computational catalysis is also desirable.
KEYWORDS: Catalysis data science, machine learning
DESCRIPTION: The goal of the project is to develop ML models to predict the degradation/sintering of nanoparticle catalysts for the reverse water gas shift reaction, by combining experimental and computational training and target data. The project involves the development of active learning ML frameworks to drive the selection of experiments and simulations. The initial focus will be on the small data regime with high consideration to model uncertainty, feature selection and model interpretability. The project is highly collaborative and includes research groups at several US national labs and universities. The research is funded through US Department of Energy through the Accelerate Innovations grant. The position is initially for 1 year, with the possibility of continuation based on a yearly evaluation.
A successful candidate will satisfy the following:
