Our goal is to create an environment where a variety of perspectives and backgrounds are valued, ensuring ORNL is known as a top choice for employment. These principles are essential for supporting our broader mission to drive scientific breakthroughs and translate them into solutions for energy, environmental, and security challenges facing the nation.
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate who will focus on applying computational methods to perform multiscale modeling and simulation for polymers far from equilibrium. Experience with scalable computational chemistry and/or materials simulation software (LAMMPS) from classical MM to coarse-graining on HPC platforms and machine learning (ML) capabilities is desired. This position resides in the Computational Chemistry and Nanomaterials Sciences Group of the Computational Sciences and Engineering Division (CSED), Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate (CCSD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In this role, you will perform computational studies aimed at developing atomistic models and perform simulations for the properties of polymers under non-equilibrium processes.
Computational methods will primarily involve density functional theory, density functional tight binding, classical molecular mechanics, coarse-graining, and machine-learning potentials to run molecular dynamics simulations. You will also work within a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional team involving specialists in theory, polymer synthesis, and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) characterization.
