Job description:

As a successful candidate, you will work on the development of machine learning methods in the AI for Materials Science (AiMat) group of Prof. Dr. Pascal Friederich.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Development of machine learning methods in collaboration with partners of the DFG Excellence Cluster “3D Matter Made to Order,” with a focus on ML potentials for complex atomistic simulations of laser 3D printing processes
• Research in the areas of accelerated atomistic simulations, universal ML potentials, and model distillation
• Collaboration with experimental partners in the 3DMM2O project to apply and validate the developed ML potentials
• Preparation of scientific manuscripts and presentation of research results at workshops and conferences

In addition to scientific work, there is the opportunity of pursuing a PhD.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
