The Xiao's group will focus on

(1) developing self-adaptive microkinetic modelling for studying catalysis including electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and confined catalysis of solid-state materials under working condition;

(2) applying the ab initio simulations to solve the puzzles observed in experiments at the level of Density Functional Theory (DFT) or Density Functional based Tight Binding (DFTB). 

(3) machine-learning and materials discovery. 

The candidates preferably have basic knowledges and training in one of the following fields including materials chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, electrochemistry, photochemistry, and computer programming. The annual salary will be international competitive at the level of 50K US Dollar.  

Interested candidates please send their CV to [email protected] or [email protected]. The expected starting date is Nov 2017 or earlier. Review of applications will begin immediately, and preference will be given to those who contact early.

We also welcome visiting students and scholars.
