U of South Carolina/Howard U招收Research Scientist of Quantum Chem/Physic

Research Scientist of Quantum Chemistry / Physics
(Duration 2 years; remote working; start immediately; Salary: $60K - $65K per year)


A Research Scientist position of Quantum Chemistry and Physics is available from the fall of 2023 or spring of 2024 at the Howard University in Washington D.C. This position is for the joint project about 2D materials and biosensing using quantum computation and machine learning from Dr. Pratibha Dev in the Department of Physics at Howard University and Dr. Tao Wei at Departments of Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering at the University of South Carolina.


The appointment is initially for one year and is extendible up to the total of 2.0 years based on the performance of the candidate. Remote work is allowed. Salary is $60K-65 K per year.


Required qualifications:


1. Demonstrates experience and expertise in quantum chemistry and quantum physics.
2. Demonstrates expertise in QM/MM, constrained DFT, or/and quantum dynamics simulations.
3. Ability of programming in one (or more) of the following: C/C++, Fortran and Python


Expertise in Machine learning, Neural Network MD, or Kinetic Monte Carlo would be a plus.


Interested applicants should first send a cover letter and a detailed CV via email to Dr. Pratibha Dev (pratibha.dev@howard.edu) and Dr. Tao Wei (taow@mailbox.sc.edu). In the cover letter, please detail the manner in which your skills can be applied to the proposed research. The short-listed applicants will be contacted for an online interview. The candidate should arrange for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent directly to Drs Dev and Wei, when requested. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. The position will be started immediately.

The position is immediately open. Welcome to apply for it.

Welcome one with the research experience of quantum simulations (QM/MM, constained DFT or AIMD) to apply. Knowledge of machine learning such as Neural Network MD is a plus.
