About this position

Postdoctoral position available at Kangwon National University in the Department of Geology, working with the Geological Molecular Science (GeMS) Group led by Dr. Kideok Kwon.

The project focuses on mineral-fluid interfaces and mineral-water interface research, with emphasis on atomic-scale structures, properties, geochemical processes, interfacial reactivity, and isotope-fractionation processes. The role involves supercomputer-based Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, Molecular Dynamics (MD), and machine learning-assisted atomistic simulations. Collaboration with experimentally oriented scientists is highlighted, along with mentoring graduate researchers and contributing to research-proposal preparation and grant development.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Geoscience, Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field. Strong molecular modeling skills and practical experience with planewave DFT and/or MD simulations are required. Preferred experience includes isotope geochemistry, solid surface modeling, ML-assisted simulations, and MD-based free-energy calculations.

The position is fully funded by KNRF and offers a competitive monthly salary commensurate with experience, plus Four Major Social Insurance coverage and a retirement allowance. The post is located in Chuncheon, Republic of Korea and is listed as open until filled.

To apply, email [email protected] with the subject line Postdoctoral Application – Computational Geochemistry. Submit a CV with complete publication list, a cover letter explaining your expertise and fit, and contact details for three professional references.
