Bernhardt Group is seeking to appoint two (2) Postdoctoral Research Fellows / Research Fellows in the Theory and Simulation of Nonequilibrium Molecular Systems. The Fellows will carry out research that involves the application of nonequilibrium molecular simulations of fluids to address problems associated with clean energy and advanced materials applications. They will be part of a team aiming to develop a better understanding of nonequilibrium systems through theory development, simulation and study of nonequilibrium systems. They will contribute to the development of theory, simulation algorithms and application on nonequilibrium simulations to problems of relevance to society. 

To be successful for this opportunity, you will hold a PhD in the area of chemistry, physics, mathematics or chemical engineering. You will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the theory of nonequilibrium systems including highly developed skills and experience in nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, scientific programming and data analysis. You will also have the ability to work well in a team and to contribute to the development of a collaborative and supportive research environment. Finally, you will be able to evidence your contributions to research, including publications and success in obtaining research grants.

Visa sponsorship may be available for this appointment.
