Overview:
As a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national laboratory, ORNL has an extraordinary 80-year history of solving the nation’s biggest problems. We have a dedicated and creative staff of over 6,000 people! Our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) is to cultivate an environment and practices that foster diversity in ideas and in the people across the organization, as well as to ensure ORNL is recognized as a workplace of choice. These elements are critical for enabling the execution of ORNL’s broader mission to accelerate scientific discoveries and their translation into energy, environment, and security solutions for 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.
