About this position
Environmental Laboratory, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, is offering a post-doctoral research appointment in computational chemistry at its Vicksburg, Mississippi location. The lab is part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ research and development organization and works on environmental science and engineering challenges for the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the nation.
The appointed researcher will work under the guidance of a mentor on computational chemistry problems using approaches such as density functional theory, molecular dynamics simulations, and coarse-graining techniques. The research can span the fate and transport of chemicals, interactions of chemicals in complex media, and the development of multifunctional materials. It may also examine hydration, adsorption, transport, and diffusion of organic and inorganic species on modeled surfaces at both atomistic and coarse-grained levels.
The position is embedded in an interdisciplinary environment where researchers address topics including ecosystem science and technology, environmental resiliency, environmental sensing, ecological modeling and forecasting, risk and decision science, sustainable materials, systems biology, climate change, computational chemistry, environmental chemistry, and environmental security.
The role also emphasizes communicating results to the ERDC community and the broader scientific community through publications and the development of new project ideas.
Funding details
Full-time 12-month ORISE appointment with stipend determined by ERDC-EL; may include health insurance supplement, relocation allowance, and training/travel allowance.
