Position Details
General Statement | The Neufeldt lab at Montana State University (Bozeman, MT) is looking for a postdoctoral scholar to join a research project focused on manipulating the selectivity and reactivity of transition metal catalysts. The position will ideally also include an educational and outreach component, involving generating animations of organic reactions using commercial software and other tools that have been developed in-house. The candidate will ideally spend between 50-100% effort on computational research using DFT methods. Depending on the candidate’s interest and goals, this position can also include a significant experimental (laboratory) component. The ideal candidate will have expertise in the use of computational tools to study organometallic reactions. Experimental expertise is not a requirement, and laboratory training will be provided if the candidate will engage in experimental research. Exceptional candidates without DFT expertise may also be considered for a purely experimental project. |
