About the job
This position involves computational research on nuclear materials, with an emphasis on f-elements (lanthanides and actinides), molten salts, interfacial science, and energy-related processes within a multi-scale modeling framework. The main task focuses on developing and using machine learning interatomic potentials, advanced free energy simulations, and high-performance computing to predict chemical and materials properties, such as thermochemical behaviors and interfacial interactions relevant to nuclear applications. Duties include technical interactions with undergraduate and graduate students, contributing to and developing new research initiatives, writing peer-reviewed scientific...
