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 in Machine Learning-Accelerated Workflow ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The section for Computational Atomic-scale Materials Design (CAMD) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), is seeking an outstanding and highly motivated post doc within the area of machine-learning accelerated high-throughput discovery of novel catalysts for (photo)electrochemical water splitting. The position is funded by the NOMAD Center of Excellence under the European Union (https://nomad-coe.eu).
The sustainable production of hydrogen is of paramount importance for a future infrastructure for the production of chemicals and fuels. To this end, (photo-)electrochemical water splitting could become a key technology but remains elusive due to limitations of the currently known materials. The successful candidate will develop automated computational workflows integrating density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning models to search for stable, active, and selective catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). A particular focus will be on the application of beyond-DFT methods, such as the RPA, and the integration of machine learning models in the workflow to accelerate and guide the discovery process.
The work will be carried out at CAMD (http://www.camd.fysik.dtu.dk) in collaboration the group of Jens Nørskov at DTU (https://cattheory.dtu.dk) and other researchers from the NOMAD consortium.
