The Applied Sciences Laboratory (ASL) of the Institute for Shock Physics at Washington State University has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate to pursue research in chemical phenomena at the metal-polymer interface.
We are looking for creative, self-motivated individuals who have the ability and desire to pursue solutions to challenging, interdisciplinary problems in a fast paced research environment.
Applicants who meet the following requirements will be considered:
- A recent Ph.D. degree in theoretical chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, computational materials science or a closely related field
- Experience with quantum chemical calculations with a broad range theories such as DFT, TDDFT, Post-HF, MRCI, CASSCF, etc.
- Exposure to calculations involving chemical reaction pathways, potential-energy surfaces and optical-UV-Visible spectra
- Ideal candidate will be willing to investigate chemical phenomena at the organic-inorganic interfaces using quantum chemical methods, some classical and first-principles MD simulations, and QM/MM-type atomistic multiscale methods
- Proficiency with at least one programming language (FORTRAN, C, C++, etc.) and experience in Linux-based high-performance parallel computing environment is required
- Ability to interact with experimentalists and theorists in a team environment, willingness to learn new computational techniques for problem solving (a key to future success at ASL)
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Good judgment, clear sense of purpose, and accountability
APPLICATIONS:
Applicants should submit a letter of application addressing the qualifications for this position and date of availability; detailed curriculum vitae; and the names, email, and addresses of three professional references to:
Dr. Santanu Chaudhuri
Applied Sciences Laboratory
412 E. Spokane Falls Blvd
Spokane, WA 99202 or via email at ispjobs@wsu.edu
Please be sure to specify the position (Post Doc Computational Modeling) for which you are applying. We will begin reviewing submissions immediately and will continue to do so until the position is filled.
