JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

The Integrated Materials and Processes Design (IMPD) group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in computational materials science with a focus on advanced density functional theory (DFT), machine learning, and multiscale materials modeling for alloys and ceramics. The successful candidate will conduct cutting-edge research involving first-principles calculations mainly using VASP and related computational tools to investigate elevated-temperature phase stability, thermodynamic and mechanical properties, defect chemistry, diffusion behavior, and electrical/functional properties of structural and energy materials. The position also involves the integration of machine learning and AI-as...
