About this position

Northeastern University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in AI Catalysis for its Boston, Massachusetts, main campus. The project combines experimental heterogeneous catalysis with artificial intelligence to accelerate the discovery and optimization of catalytic materials for energy and sustainability applications.

The researcher will design, synthesize, and test catalysts including supported metals, oxides, single-atom systems, and high-entropy metal alloy systems. Work will involve operating catalytic reactors and measuring activity, selectivity, and kinetics for targeted thermocatalytic and/or electrocatalytic reactions. Catalyst characterization and analysis will be used to establish structure–reactivity relationships and connect experimental results with mechanistic and kinetic interpretation.

A major component of the role is the development of autonomous, closed-loop laboratory workflows. These workflows will connect automated synthesis, high-throughput screening, online or in situ characterization, active learning, and Bayesian optimization to guide experimental selection. The researcher will also build agentic AI workflows and FAIR experimental data infrastructure for instrument orchestration, automated data curation, and autonomous hypothesis generation across synthesis, characterization, and performance testing.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to peer-reviewed publications, presentations, sponsored-research deliverables, proposals, and reports. The role also includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate researchers and helping steward shared instrumentation within Northeastern’s interdisciplinary, research-intensive environment.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral research position with an expected hiring salary range of $60,315.00–$85,192.50. Benefit-eligible employees may receive medical, vision, dental, paid time off, tuition assistance, wellness and life benefits, retirement benefits, and commuting and transportation benefits.

What's required

PhD in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related field. Candidates must have knowledge of heterogeneous catalysis, reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and structure–reactivity relationships; experience designing and operating catalytic reactors; ability to synthesize and characterize catalysts; proficiency in Python; ability to apply machine-learning methods to scientific data; and ability to work independently and across disciplines. A resume is required.
