The Computer-Aided Nano & Energy Lab (CANELA) led by Prof. Giannis Mpourmpakis at the University of Pittsburgh (http://www.mpourmpakis.com/) has an opening for a post-doctoral research associate position in the area of computational chemistry. The post-doctoral associate will use density functional theory calculations to investigate chemical reactions on metal nanoparticles pertinent to their growth and catalytic behavior.
Applicants are expected to have a PhD in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, materials science, or a related discipline; a strong background in electronic structure theory and computational chemistry; expertise in using a variety of quantum mechanical computational packages, such as CP2K, Gaussian, Turbomole, VASP etc.; excellent communication skills, including the ability to write peer-reviewed journal articles and create and give oral presentations at scientific conferences. Experience with molecular dynamics simulations and/or machine learning is desirable but not required for this position.
The initial appointment will be for one year and can be renewed subject to satisfactory performance. The post-doctoral associate will benefit from collaborations with other computational researchers (part of the Center for Research Computing) and experimental groups.
Qualified applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and email addresses of three references as a single PDF document to Prof. Giannis Mpourmpakis [email protected]
