Descrizione del lavoro

Join Our Team at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

The School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS) at NTU Singapore hosts research and education activities in two divisions: Division of Mathematical Sciences (MAS) and Division of Physics and Applied Physics (PAP). MAS covers diverse topics ranging from pure mathematics to the applications of mathematics in cryptography, computing, business, and finance. PAP covers many areas of fundamental and applied physics, including quantum information, condensed matter physics, biophysics, and photonics. Over the years, SPMS has attracted talented individuals from around the world and Singapore to join as scientific leaders and researchers.

Join the laboratory of Fan Hongjin at SPMS. We are seeking a Research Fellow to contribute to a project focused on a project focused on data-driven discovery of atomic catalysts.

Key Responsibilities

• Theoretical predictions using DFT and machine learning, and mechanistic understanding of atomic catalysts
• Investigation of mechanism by in-situ and/or operando techniques and theoretical calculations
• Coordinate the collaboration with other researchers in this project to maintain steady progress, and provide support to the research group on related experiments
• Provide support to the project management and lab infrastructure, including procurement, setting up battery fabrication line, set up equipment for in-situ and/or operando characterizations, annual and final project reports
• Make regular progress reports to PI
• Write one proposal based on results obtained from this project for external grant

Job Requirements

• A PhD degree in material sciences or applied physics, with focus on renewable energy
• Evidenced experience in DFT and machine learning especially its application in atomic catalysts
• Strong publication record on the topic of renewable energy materials especially electrocatalysis
• Entry level candidates are welcome to apply
• Strong motivation to undertake grand challenges in multidisciplinary subjects
