Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
UNSW Scientia Scholarship in AI for Catalyst Dev ... (1 reply)
Dear Professor,
Herewith I would like to submit my applications for the Post-Doctor position in your research group. My research interest covers the investigation of designing efficient, stable, and non-toxic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by using state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations and I published 15 papers including 2 papers in Journal of materials Chemistry A (Impact factor > 9.9), 3 papers in Physical review B as the first author.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The development of impactful new catalysts is often hampered by lack of understanding how key structural motifs provide access to desirable properties and how to rationally synthesis materials to maximize these structures effectiveness toward reactivity. The result has arguably caused a split in methodologies toward materials development, either adhere to trial-and-error approaches that often ignore the underlying fundamental science or dig deep into developing structure/function relationships at the cost of possible speed in discovery. This project aims to speed-up the development of new enhanced catalysts by fusing synchrotron characterization with artificial intelligence to quickly and unbiasedly enable new synthetic routes.
The ideal candidate will need to have some experience in one of the following areas: 1) materials characterization using synchrotron techniques; 2) computational materials chemistry; 3) artificial intelligence, 4) materials synthesis and catalysis characterization. While having experience is multiple areas is a desirable, it is not required as a prospective candidate will be working in a highly interdisciplinary team with supervisory experience in each of these areas. The candidate should also be able to work in a team environment and be willing to be the conduit between experimental and computational efforts.
APPLICATIONS OPEN UNTIL JULY 12TH 2019
