Job Description: The design and discovery of new molecules and materials are slow due to trial-and-error approaches. This research group aims to accelerate material discovery through machine learning, democratizing access to expert knowledge. The focus includes developing strategies for designing materials, especially polymers for energy applications, with a unique emphasis on three main research pillars. PostDoc positions will involve research data management and the use of novel tools like LLMs in this context.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should email their CV and a summary (max. 1 page) of their research interest to join@lamalab.org with the subject “PhD in Digital Chemistry” or “Postdoc in Digital Chemistry.” Highlight reasons for joining the group. Selected candidates will go through non-technical and technical interviews. Candidates with disabilities will be given preference in case of equal qualifications.
Last Date for Apply: Until position filled
