Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
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 at MIT for simulation of (bio)-materials (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Vacancy at MIT for a postdoctoral associate, Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE), to join a collaborative project between the group of Professor Jeffrey Grossman, Professor Yang Shao-Horn, and Dr. Abhishek Aggarwal. The candidate will work in a team consisting of graduate students, Ph.D.-level scientists, and faculty at the intersection of molecular simulation, machine learning, biomolecules, and catalysis. Responsibilities include developing high throughput simulation workflows for water structures in biomolecules; applying and developing machine learning approaches to understand water structures for catalysis as well as for polymer electrolyte design and polymer simulation. The candidate is also expected to take responsibility for student advising/mentoring; and authoring or coauthoring technical presentations, reports, and manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
Job Requirements
REQUIRED: Ph.D. in materials science, physical chemistry, physics, or related field; demonstrated experience and interest in the development of machine learning methods for materials; experience in the computational simulation of materials; highly effective organizational, analytical, problem-solving, and presentation skills; and ability to work both individually and as part of a team.
PREFERRED: Experience in developing novel machine learning methods; experience in high throughput simulation workflows.
Interested applicants should send a cover letter and a curriculum vitae as a single PDF to Professor Jeffrey Grossman at [email protected] and Professor Yang Shao-Horn at [email protected]. Applicants should also arrange for two confidential reference letters to be sent to the same address.
