Applications are invited for an industry-sponsored post-doctoral position in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, initially for a period of one year, but renewable. The project would involve nuclear spin conversion at a catalyst surface. Desired qualifications for a potential candidate include:

(i) Experience in classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in heterogeneous systems and adsorption on periodic solids, and use of MD software (LAMMPS or other).

(ii) Experience in spin-polarized DFT calculations in periodic magnetic solid surfaces (VASP or other)

(iii) Some background in spin-spin hyperfine interactions and energy exchange accompanying interfacial phenomena

(iv) Expertise in programming languages (python, fortran, C/C++) and writing in-home scripts for handling, analyzing, and visualizing MD and magnetic solids results (VMD, VESTA, etc.).

Applicants should direct any questions about this position to Prof. S. Murad at [email protected]. To be considered for this position, send a detailed CV and arrange for two letters of reference to be sent to [email protected].
