Postdoctoral Research Associate -3y- Data-driven design of mixed conductors
Location:
London, Gt Lon
Description:
The research group of Dr Micaela Matta is seeking to appoint a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral research associate in computational materials chemistry.The position is funded by the 3-year EPSRC project “Data-driven design of organic mixed conductors”.Mixed ionic/electronic conducting materials are being developed for applications in bioelectronics, biosensing, energy storage and neuromorphic computing. However, the lack of general structure-property relationships is a bottleneck for systematic material development. In this project, the candidate will conduct a high throughput computational screening of novel organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors leveraging cheminformatics, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics simulations. The candidate will work in close collaboration with experimental groups providing validation/testing of novel mixed conducting materials.The project has a strong emphasis on software development; the candidate will develop and maintain workflows and datasets related to the project according to FAIR principles, supported by Dr Matta and KCL’s E-Research Team. Essential criteria 1. Hold a PhD in Chemistry, Materials science, Physics or equivalent.2. Demonstrable experience in either atomistic molecular dynamics simulations or quantum chemistry/density functional theory calculations3. Demonstrable programming skills4. Strong track record (commensurate to experience)5. Excellent communication skills and team work attitude Desirable criteria 1. Demonstrable experience in applying machine learning tools to computational chemistry2. Demonstrable experience in developing/applying computational workflows for large datasets3. Demonstrable experience in managing, deploying and documenting Python packagesInformal enquiries should be directed to Dr Matta .Applications must be submitted by November 12, 2024 via KCL's portal: bit.ly/3U9cGXg
