Post-Doctoral Research Associate - Chemical Engineering - 2400000072
Post-Doctoral Research Associate Position* The Khomami group in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville has an open post-doc position. Research will focus on atomistic simulations of polyolefins, with an emphasis on end-of-life plastics. This project is part of a collaborative research program that includes faculty at UTK and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The work will involve interactions with other UTK faculty and ORNL scientists. There will be opportunities to publish research outcomes and for professional development in furtherance of an academic or industrial career path.
Description
Area of Research: Molecular simulations of Polymers
POSITION REQUIREMENTS: I am seeking applicants with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, materials engineering, chemistry, or physics with molecular dynamics simulations of polymers background, preferably using atomistic models. A knowledge of reactive molecular dynamics is desirable but not required. Experience with modern parallel simulation software (LAMMPS), polymer characterization and polymer processing are particularly desirable. Understanding fundamental concepts in reactive molecular dynamics simulations would also be beneficial. The candidate should have excellent communication skills (written and oral), a strong record of publications and conference presentations, and either experience or the will to work with experimentalists. The position is available beginning February 1, 2024, for a one-year term with the possibility of renewal for an additional year based on performance.
