We are excited to announce two postdoctoral research opportunities in our lab, each with distinct focus areas and skill requirements. Both positions offer competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.

1. Postdoctoral Position in Materials Informatics

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in materials informatics. The ideal candidate will have extensive training in their Ph.D. program and be capable of independently conducting research involving materials informatics. The specific focus areas encompass at least one of the following disciplines: scientific machine learning, materials informatics, and polymer physics/chemistry. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and executing machine learning techniques for innovative polymer design and synthesis.

2. Postdoctoral Position in Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Perovskites (HOIPs)

We are also looking for a postdoctoral researcher with extensive expertise in computational modeling of HOIPs, such as density functional theory and ab initio molecular dynamics. The

Millions of years of evolution have enabled some marine animals to grow complex protective shells composed of multiple layers that work together to dissipate physical stress. In a new study, engineers have found a way to mimic the behavior of this type of layered material, such as seashell nacre, by programming individual layers of synthetic material to work collaboratively under stress. The new material design is poised to enhance energy-absorbing systems such as wearable bandages and car bumpers with multistage responses that adapt to collision severity.
