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.

Postdoc Associate Position of Polymer Simulation (Atomistic and Coarse-grained)
Location: the Prof. Hisiao's lab at Chemistry Department at the Stony Brook University; Duration: 2 Years; Salary: $58K-60K; Additional stipend will provide for working Dr. Wei's lab.
This position requires expertise in polymer simulations (atomsitic MD, CGMD, DPD, MC or KMC).
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
The Post-doc Associate will work in a multi-institutional effort to apply molecular simulation techniques to understand the underlying structure-function relationships in polymer filtration materials. Specifically, the project aims to study polymer interfacial crosslinking and polymer membranes using atomistic and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations in combination with experimental synthesis and characterization tools. The position will be co-supervised by Prof. Benjamin Hsiao at Stony Brook University and Prof. Tao Wei at Howard University.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
PhD in materials science, chemical engineering, chemistry or physics, or a related field.
Experience with molecular dynamic simulations (atomistic and coarse-grained), dissipative particle dynamics, Mote Caro, and kinetic Monte Carlo methods.
Experience with programming skills in Python, C++, C or Fortran.
Experience with Gromacs, LAMMPS or other related simulation software.
Ability to work effectively with a multidisciplinary team.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
Experience with coarse-grained forcefield parameter development.
Experience with experimental synthesis and characterization of polymer membranes (PDF, WAXS and SAXS).
Experience with polymer statistical mechanics theory.
Experience with machine learning.
Interested applicants should first send a detailed CV via email to Dr. Benjamin Hsiao ([email protected]) and Dr. Tao Wei ([email protected]). In the CV, please list your publications. The short-listed applicants will be contacted for an online interview. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
