OtherScientist

We look for computational materials scientists excited about bridging the gap between materials/chemistry, data science, and computer science to help us develop a software framework for designing and discovering new advanced materials and chemicals.

Work will focus on (1) the application of nanoscale modeling to large sets of materials, surfaces, and reaction pathways with minimal human input, (2) organizing the data produced by the models and experimental validation, (3) establishing artificial intelligence approaches using the data.

Successful candidates will continue into leadership roles as we grow.
This is a full-time permanent position.
