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 Associate Position of Polymer Simulations (Atomistic and Coarse-grained)
Location: the Prof. Hisiao’s lab at Chemistry Department at Stony Brook University; Duration: Two Years; Salary: $58K-60K; an Additional stipend will be provided for working Dr. Wei’s lab to cover the visit and travel.
This position requires expertise in polymer simulations (atomistic MD, CGMD, DPD, MC or KMC). Expertise in quantum (DFT) is not required. And the experience in 2D materials are irrelevant. We prefer to have one with research experience in soft matter.
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.
Experience with experimental synthesis and characterization of polymer membranes (PDF, WAXS and SAXS).
Experience with polymer statistical mechanics theory.
Experience with machine learning.
