Richard Brutchey

Richard Brutchey at the University of Southern California is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the Brutchey Group. The project sits at the intersection of inorganic nanocrystal synthesis and machine learning , with a focus on applying ML methods to problems in inorganic synthesis. This opportunity is aimed at recent or soon-to-be Ph.D. graduates with a background in chemistry , materials science , or a closely related field. Strong experimental experience in inorganic synthesis is required, and applicants should also have hands-on experience with Python and machine learning . The post emphasizes that demonstrated experience in both synthesis and ML is essential, along with a strong research and publication record. The appointment is for a minimum of two years , with a flexible start date between January and June 2027 . Interested candidates should email the professor directly with a CV and a short summary of their relevant experience. This is a research-intensive postdoctoral opening in chemistry and materials science, especially suitable for candidates interested in data-driven inorganic synthesis, nanocrystals, and computational approaches to experimental problems.
