Senior Postdoctoral Scholar

Job Summary
As a Senior Postdoctoral Scholar, you are expected to establish a computational pipeline to achieve catalyst prediction for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction reactions.

This is a multi-step approach, where first DFT will be used to understand reactions, then explore the use of machine learning potentials towards kinetic and large length scale/time scale simulations and eventually integrate into the experimental workflow.

You will be based in at the BEARS Consortium in Singapore at CREATE and will work in a highly collaborative environment as part of the AxCIS team in Singapore, addressing challenges at the interface of materials chemistry, high-throughput synthesis, artificial intelligence, and robotic automation.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Perform electronic structure calculations on bulk, surfaces, nanostructures as necessary.
• ⁠Develop AI/ML models to predict materials reactions using data-driven approach.
• ⁠Develop codes as necessary to assist existing and new code frameworks for advanced property prediction and analysis.
• ⁠Analyze and present results in meetings or conferences.
• ⁠Disseminate research outputs through high-impact publications, presentations, and data releases in accordance with open science practices.
• ⁠Collaborate with experimental team members, including partners in academia, industry, and national laboratories.
• ⁠Mentorship of junior team members, which can include undergraduate and graduate students.

Qualifications:

• PhD in a relevant discipline (e.g. Chemistry, Materials Science and Chemical Engineering).

Other Desired Qualifications / Experiences / Skills:

• >5 years Post-PhD experience
• Expertise in Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning models
• Expertise in density functional theory calculations for catalysis applications
