Responsibilities
- Develop software tools for automated surface slab generation, adsorption-site mapping, and catalytic surface reaction kinetics.
- Implement algorithms and workflows for periodic electronic-structure calculations, NEB path generation, and surface energetics analysis.
- Maintain clean, documented code and participate in code reviews and collaborative software releases.
Requirements
- PhD in Materials Science, Computational Chemistry or Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong background in periodic DFT applications involving surfaces, interfaces, solid-state materials, or electrocatalytic and heterocatalytic systems.
- Hands-on experience running and automating periodic electronic-structure codes such as Quantum ESPRESSO, VASP, CP2K, or CASTEP.
- Experience with NEB, grand canonical DFT, or implicit solvation models for solid interfaces is desirable.
- Experience developing GUI components or visualization modules for periodic lattices and surface slabs is desirable.
- Familiarity with microkinetic modeling of catalytic systems is desirable.
