Postdoctoral Research Associate

Highlights:
1. The Nanomaterials Chemistry Group in the Chemical Sciences Division (CSD) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory invites applications in the area of molecular simulations (classical molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC)) of porous materials and ionic liquids for separations of important materials relevant to U.S. DOE.

2. The candidate will perform fundamental research in the molecular simulations of solubility and transport of targeted molecules in novel separation media such as ordered porous carbons and ionic liquids. The research will also involve a minor effort of force field development in support of the simulations. World-class computational facilities are available both at ORNL and from other DOE supercomputing sites.

3. This position requires a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.

4. Candidates must have previous experience in classical MD and/or MC simulations. Experience with modeling porous materials and/or ionic liquids is desirable. Experience with force-field development is a plus. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required, and presentations and publication of scientific results in peer-reviewed journals are expected.

5. Applicants must be within five years of their most recent degree and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment. Technical Question:
