The School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) provides a vibrant and inter-disciplinary research environment in key areas such as computational materials science nanomaterials low dimensional materials and sustainable materials.
We are seeking a research fellow to lead the computational design and optimisation of heterogeneous catalysts for biomass conversion. This role will combine first-principles electronic-structure calculations atomistic simulations and data-driven methods to develop water-tolerant earth-abundant transition metal catalysts.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead and coordinate computational modelling activities and project deliverables
Develop and maintain high-throughput DFT/atomistic workflows and computational models
Derive structure-property-reactivity relationships and propose catalyst candidates operating windows and performance targets for experimental validation.
Work closely with internal and external collaborators mentor junior researchers/students and contribute to reports manuscripts and grant applications.
Job Requirements:
PhD in Materials Science and Engineering Chemistry Chemical Engineering or a closely related field.
Proven research experience and skills in first-principles electronic structure calculations and atomistic simulations.
Proficiency with Linux and programming for workflow automation and data analysis.
Working knowledge of data-driven methods to support catalyst screening and decision-making.
Strong communication interpersonal organisational and mentoring skills.
We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
