Postdoctoral position in computational quantum chemistry at the University
at Buffalo, SUNY
The group of Prof. Johannes Hachmann at the University at Buffalo (UB) has
an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of
computational quantum chemistry, with a focus on designing molecular
catalysts and catalytic reactions, e.g., for solar water splitting. The
successful candidate will spearhead the UB Solar Fuel Project and the
group's research in organocatalysis. This work will connect to the virtual
high-throughput screening, Big Data, and machine learning efforts pursued
in the group (which is also part of the New York State Center of Excellence
in Materials Informatics). Interactions with the other theory groups at UB
are encouraged.
The successful candidate is expected to hold a Ph.D. in chemistry, physics,
material science, chemical engineering, or a closely related discipline
with a specialization in theory or modeling. Candidates without significant
experience in computational quantum chemistry or molecular modeling will
not be considered. Project-related background and interests, i.e., in
computational catalysis, coordination chemistry, or transition metal
chemistry are highly desirable. At least basic experience in scientific
coding (e.g., in Python, C/C++, Fortran, Julia) is required. The successful
candidate is expected to take on leadership responsibilities, show personal
initiative, participate in graduate and undergraduate student mentoring,
support collaborations with experimentalist partners, and fulfill project
administration functions. Independence, creativity, and reliability are
valued qualities, as are a positive attitude, motivation, team-work
ability, and communication skills. Senior applicants with prior
postdoctoral experience and an ambition to pursue a research career will be
preferred. The initial appointment is for one year.
Suitable candidates interested in this position are encouraged to apply by
submitting (in one pdf document) a short personal statement explaining
their scientific interests and a detailed CV including the contact
information of at least three references. This application, or questions
about the position, should be sent by email to Johannes Hachmann at (
hachmann(a)buffalo.edu <javascript:;>). Alternatively, the following link to
UBJobs can be used:
