About this position

Postdoctoral Researcher – Materials Informatics at Johns Hopkins University (Whiting School of Engineering, Baltimore, Maryland, USA).

The Entropy for Energy (S4E) Laboratory led by PI Corey Oses is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for data-driven discovery of energy materials. Research directions include fusion and fission materials, redox chemistry, and quantum-computing-enabled materials discovery.

Relevant study areas include materials science, physics, chemistry, computer science, and quantum information science, with strong overlap in materials informatics, machine learning, solid-state physics, high-entropy materials, and computational materials science.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a doctorate (or be near completion of the PhD), have a strong publication record with at least three peer-reviewed first-author papers accessible to the team, and demonstrate experience with VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, or similar ab-initio tools. Strong C++ and Python programming skills, Unix proficiency, and the ability to lead research projects and work with experimentalists are required. Background knowledge in thermodynamics of materials, solid-state physics, inorganic chemistry, and metallurgy is expected.

Preferred expertise: high-entropy materials, disorder, phonons, magnetism, catalysis, machine learning/AI, database or API development, and quantum computing for materials science.

Funding: full-time postdoctoral fellowship with salary range $63,480–$74,424 per year.

Application: submit materials through Interfolio at the link provided. You may also include DOIs for three recent and relevant publications. The posting is open until filled.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral fellowship with a listed salary range of $63,480 to $74,424 per year.

What's required

Doctorate in materials science, physics, chemistry, computer science, quantum information science, or a related field; or graduate students near completion of the PhD may apply with anticipated defense and graduation dates. Candidates should be able to move to and work at Johns Hopkins University in the USA, have a proven track record of first-author publications and presentations with at least three peer-reviewed first-author publications accessible to the team, experience with VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, or other ab-initio codes, strong programming skills in C++ and Python, proficiency with Unix systems, the ability to lead research projects and collaborate with experimentalists, and a fundamental understanding of thermodynamics of materials, solid-state physics, inorganic chemistry, and metallurgy. Expertise in high-entropy materials, disorder, phonons, magnetism, catalysis, machine learning/artificial intelligence, database/API development, or quantum computing for materials science is preferred.

How to apply

Apply through the Interfolio application portal using the provided link. Include the required application materials, and optionally add DOIs for three recent and relevant publications. Questions may be sent to the S4E team with the subject line "S4E Post-Doc".
