We have multiple openings for Postdoctoral Researchers in the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (https://qsg.llnl.gov/).

The successful candidates will work in the area of first-principles computational simulations of reactive interfaces for energy capture, storage, and conversion. The candidates will simulate interfacial chemical reactions and transport phenomena, elucidate structure-composition-property relationships, investigate degradation mechanisms, and work closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop comprehensive multiscale models based on first-principles calculations. Modeling activities will support one or more of the following focus areas: (1) heterogeneous catalysis; (2) CO₂ capture; (3) reactive transport in porous materials.

Postdoctoral candidates should have earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or a related field. The ideal candidates should have strong expertise in electronic structure methods, first‐principles molecular dynamics calculations, microkinetic models, and knowledge of high performance computing.

Please email Tuan Anh Pham ([email protected]) and Sneha Akhade ([email protected]) with questions or inquiries about the position. Interested candidates should visit the LLNL website careers.llnl.gov and search the posting ID: 107582.
