Fully funded PhD and MSc positions in computational materials engineering are available in the group of Prof. Milica Todorović at the University of Turku, Finland. In these positions, students will develop and implement advanced machine learning protocols into active learning software tools for materials exploration and optimisation. Our objective is to combine multiple channels of information in materials science datasets for more powerful machine learning, and through this, accelerate scientific discovery and materials design. 

 

We welcome candidates with a background in physics, chemistry, materials science or computer science who are curious about applied machine learning in natural sciences. Prior coding and machine learning experience is a bonus, but not a must. We seek colleagues who enjoy coding, scripting and analytics, and are keen to push the boundaries of computational materials design. This project requires creative thinking and programming and a broad understanding of electronic phenomena in organic and inorganic materials.

More information on the positions and application guidelines are available for the Doctoral candidate (4 year funding) and the MSc candidate (6 months funding). The application deadline is 16.08.2021.
