Message:
The Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a research staff member in computational and
theoretical nanoscience to join its Nanomaterials Theory Institute (NTI).
The CNMS is a Department of Energy (DOE)/Office of Science Nanoscale Science
Research Center (NSRC) operating as a highly collaborative and
multidisciplinary user research facility. The CNMS is one of five DOE NSRCs
that form an integrated national user network. The central organizing
concept of CNMS is to provide unique opportunities to understand nanoscale
materials, assemblies, and phenomena, by creating a set of scientific
synergies that will accelerate the process of discovery. Close partnerships
exist between the Institute at the CNMS and the Computational Chemical and
Materials Sciences Group within the Computer Science and Mathematics
Division and the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS).
Collaborations across ORNL programs enhance opportunities for theoretical
contributions to a wide range of energy-related and frontier nanoscience
research, including materials, chemical, energy, and computational sciences.
The result is a vibrant and active research community at ORNL with many
opportunities for performing cutting-edge computational and theoretical
science. The CNMS is currently interested in increasing its expertise in the
simulation, modeling and theory of hybrid materials that have applicability
to important practical problems such as photovoltaics, electrochemical
energy storage, nanoelectronics, and catalytic systems.
The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of physicists,
chemists, materials scientists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and
engineers in research and development programs in world-class nanoscale
scientific research. For this position, scientists with demonstrated
expertise in the detailed investigation of nanomaterials, including
organic-based, metallic, and oxides-based materials are of particular
interest. Demonstrated expertise in methods based on classical mechanics
(molecular mechanics, dynamics) and quantum density functional theory is
required as well as a solid working knowledge of quantum many-body theory
approaches. Experience in software engineering techniques to scale
computational methods to perform efficiently on massively parallel,
leadership-class computers is a plus, as is exposure to and understanding of
nanomaterials synthesis and characterization using atomic probes and
transmission microscopies.
This position requires a Ph.D. in engineering, physics, chemistry, materials
sciences, or a related discipline with 3-5 years experience or an equivalent
combination of education and experience. Candidates must have a proven
record of excellence in technical or research accomplishments that include
self-directed research, publications, excellent communications skills, a
strong mentoring/leadership record, and a desire to work in a team
environment. Applicants should have a practical knowledge of scientific
software engineering techniques and programming languages, contemporary
parallel architectures, and scalable parallel-programming methods.
Applications for this position should be made via
http://jobs.ornl.gov/
The position can be found by e.g. searching for "nanomaterials" or the
position identifier NB50277659.
If you have trouble applying for a position, please email
ORNLRecruiting(a)ornl.gov. ORNL is an E-Verify Employer.
UT-Battelle is recognized by our employees and the community as an inclusive
environment where diversity is valued and individuals and teams are inspired
to contribute fully to the organization's success. ORNL is an equal
opportunity employer.
