Provide Description

The Position

Functions are invited for a Postdoctoral Analysis Affiliate in Computational and Theoretical Chemistry with a specific emphasis on the statistical mechanics of liquid-solid interfaces. The profitable candidate will work within the group of Dr Stephen Cox and the broad goals of the mission are to elucidate the construction and dynamics of advanced liquid-solid interfaces at a theoretical stage. The principle standards for the position are a robust observe file in world-leading analysis commensurate with applicant’s expertise, together with a PhD in computational chemistry or associated topic. Expertise in molecular simulations (i.e., molecular dynamics and/or Monte Carlo strategies) or liquid state concept (e.g., classical density purposeful concept) is extremely fascinating. Potential matters of analysis embody:

• Understanding the dynamics of cost/discharge processes in electrolyte and ionic liquid programs [see, e.g., Pireddu et al., doi: 10.26434/chemrxiv-2023-2ccrw].
• Understanding how the answer atmosphere impacts crystal morphology, with an emphasis of polar crystal surfaces [see, e.g., Sayer & Cox, JCP 153, 164709 (2020)].
• Creating new theoretical approaches to effectively describe solvation forces [see, e.g., Bui & Cox, arXiv:2402.02873]

The profitable applicant might be anticipated to work each independently and a part of a crew, and have glorious communication organisational and problem-solving expertise.

This publish is mounted time period, with as much as 24 months of funding accessible that ends on 30/09/2026. The earliest doable begin date is 02/09/2024.
