Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow in Computational Materials Discovery at the University of Nottingham, UK

Closing Date: Wednesday, 16th June 2021

As part of an exciting new project funded by EPSRC, we are seeking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Research Associate/Fellow in Computational Materials Discovery at the University of Nottingham to develop novel metal hydrides for hydrogen storage applications.

Candidates should have a PhD (or near completion) in an appropriate field (e.g. Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science). Candidates should have a proven research record in atomistic computational modelling of solid-state materials. It is desirable that the candidates have experience in using a variety of ab initio density functional theory packages, such as VASP, CP2K, etc. Experience with computational high throughput screening of materials (e.g. using machine learning methods) and with scripting languages (e.g. Python) and workflow packages (e.g. ASE and Pymatgen) would be desirable.

This full-time (36.25 hours per week) post is available from 1 September 2021, however a late start date could be agreed, and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 18 months.
