• High expertise in density functional theory electronic structure calculations is required.
• Good expertise in classical molecular dynamics simulations is desired.
• Experience of scientific programming and application of machine learning libraries and algorithms is also desirable.
• Expertise in mesoscale or multiscale modelling of electrochemical systems will be an asset.
• The candidate should be able to work independently and as part of a team, as well as have very good command of English.
• The candidate should be able to effectively communicate with a variety of multidisciplinary audiences.

What we offer:

We offer a full time, 2 year, contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
