Role and Project:  Our NEM group of Professor Jang-Yeon Hwang is searching for a bright and dedicated PhD and postdoctoral candidates to help us use density functional theory to simulate battery performance as well as modelling, molecular dynamics and materials design of ion battery cathodes/anodes.

The Post doctoral candidate will be proficient in molecular dynamics and multi physics modelling for electrode design and strain, have worked on collaborative experimental battery projects, and be able to write a review or paper independently. The Na ion battery/future battery is being developed.

We search for two or more candidates to pursue fundamental research using computational modelling tools on -ion batteries. The project involves applying multiscale molecular modelling methods such as Quantum and Molecular Mechanics, Electronic Structure and transition-state calculations based on Density Functional Theory, Molecular Dynamics studies, and some times Machine Learning.

We are looking for passionate, extraordinarily talented individuals who are eager to work in an international, interdisciplinary team, show initiative, and use their creativity. It is necessary to have excellent verbal and writing communication abilities. Motivation to tackle difficult problems, including sticking to deadlines, taking on several jobs, and helping out other researchers. capable of working independently yet also an effective team player. The ability to learn new topics and tools.

Location: Department of Energy Engineering, Hanyang University, South Korea.
