Two postdoctoral (research associate) positions are available to join the research group of Prof. Aron Walsh in the Department of Materials and Thomas Young Centre at Imperial College London.

 

The project concerns the development and deployment of data-driven approaches for materials chemistry and physics. The topics of interest include:

 

• Feature engineering for composition-structure-property maps

• Generative models for the inverse design of crystals

• Machine learning forcefields to describe heat and charge transport in solids

 

The work will build on our group package SMACT and link with other open-source developments. The target areas include clean energy conversion and storage, with a focus on semiconducting and mixed ionic-electronic conducting materials for photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical systems. This includes both inorganic crystals and metal-organic frameworks. Your cover letter should state your specific area of interest. 

 

These positions can start from 1st September 2023. They are initially for two years, and are extendable upon mutual agreement, with a starting salary of £43,093. A full job description and application form can be found here. E-mail Aron Walsh with any informal inquiries.
