Job Information
New York University Post Doctoral Associate (Tuckerman lab) in New York
Applications are solicited for an individual to be appointed as a postdoctoral associate under the supervision of Mark E. Tuckerman in the Department of Chemistry at New York University. The research will focus on the use of molecular simulation, machine learning, and mathematical approaches to study structure, thermodynamics, and kinetics of stable and metastable polymorphs or organic molecular crystals. This work will be carried out in collaboration with experimental groups at NYU as part of a National Science Foundation funded materials project under the DMREF (Designing Materials to Revolutionize and Engineer our Future) project and will, therefore, be part of a team effort.
The terms of employment which would be a year, with a possibility of renewal, include a competitive salary and other benefits. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates will be considered until the position is filled.
In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500/yr - $65,000/yr. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending the offer.
Successful applicants will be highly motivated with an interest in working in theoretical and computational chemistry and must hold a Ph.D. degree in chemistry, physics, or a related field such as chemical engineering. The ideal candidate will have research experience in molecular simulation, machine learning, and electronic structure methods. Additional background in statistical mechanics and molecular solids is highly desirable.
To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter summarizing research experience and specifying the interests in this position; a curriculum vitae (including a full list of publications); a statement of research interests; and two letters of reference.
