[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
The Institute for Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (ICReDD), Hokkaido University, as a global research center based on the “World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) , supported by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT),” constructs an international research environment which gathers world-leading researchers and establishes a research environment that integrates computational, information and experimental sciences, in order to establish a new academic field “Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery”, to provide substantial knowledge on chemical reactions that efficiently develop chemical reactions and materials for the future necessity, and to sustainably cultivate human resources engaged in the field of “Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery”.
[Work content and job description]
[Job Description]
(Just after hiring) Understanding and discovering novel reactions through reactivity prediction is a key research area at ICReDD. Prof. Varnek's group deals with development of models based on Neural Network Potentials, which reproduce energy and gradients obtained at DFT level of theory. Such models can significantly accelerate reaction path searches compared to time consuming quantum calculations.
In this context, the candidate will have the opportunity to work on the following research topics:
(1) Application of accelerated reaction path search to better understand key chemical reactions.
(2) In silico discovery of new reactions and/or design of experimental conditions, using fast reaction path searches.
(3) Exploiting reaction path data through machine learning algorithms for innovative applications.
(4) Further accelerating reaction path search, using advanced artificial intelligence techniques.
(Scope of change) No change expected.
