Postdoc for polymer simulations (atomistic MD, coarse-grained, DPD) and polymer physics
Duration: 2 years; Location: Chemistry Department at the Stony Brook University; Salary: $58,000/year (Additional stipend will be provided for the optional work for 1-2 month(s) each year in Prof. Wei's lab to cover the commuting, lodging and food per diem.)
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, 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.
Expert in polymer physics (PDF, WSAXS and SAXS computation) Experience with experimental synthesis and characterization of polymer membranes. Experience with polymer statistical mechanics theory. Experience with machine learning.
Interested applicants should first send a cover letter and a detailed CV via email to Dr. Benjamin Hsiao ([email protected]) and Dr. Tao Wei ([email protected]). In the cover letter, please detail the manner in which your skills can be applied to the proposed research. 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.
