Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research group in Computational Chemistry at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The successful candidate will work on developing and applying a state-of-the-art computational framework for studying electro-catalytic reactions and designing improved catalyst materials.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop a protocol for setting up, training, and applying neural network potential based molecular dynamics simulations for catalyst screening;
  • Develop and apply machine learning techniques, e.g. based on "Collective Variable Free Sampling of Molecular Transition Paths", to obtain reaction free landscapes;
  • Improve the integrated models for investigation of electron and proton transfer reactions at catalyst materials;
  • Propose new catalyst materials, working conditions, and experiments to our collaborators.
Requirements
  • A Master's degree in science, preferably in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics, engineering physics, materials science, computational science, or artificial intelligence with a specialization in natural science;
  • Experience with molecular simulation is preferred;
  • Experience with machine learning is preferred;
  • Good programming skills;
  • Excellent communication skills in oral and written English;
  • Strong initiative and good time management skills;
  • Interest in collaborating with students, PhDs and postdoctoral researchers in related projects and research groups within and outside the Netherlands.
What We Offer

A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of four years. This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). The preferred starting date is November to February. We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and Masters students.

Based on a full-time contract (38 hours per week) the gross monthly salary will range from €2, in the first year to €3, (scale P) in the last year. This is exclusive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. A favourable tax agreement, the '30% ruling', may apply to non-Dutch applicants.

We offer a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park, with multiple fringe benefits, including holiday hours per year, extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January, multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre, a complete educational program for PhD students, and more.
