Experimental Scientist - Modelling and Simulations
- Do you have a PhD in Computational chemistry/physics or similar?
- Work with world-leading scientists and simulate the properties of a range of perovskite materials
- Join CSIRO’s Data61, the largest data innovation group in Australia
CSIRO’s Data61 is seeking to appoint an Experimental Scientist to work within their Modelling and Simulations group.
As the successful candidate, you will work with world-leading scientists on the development of a new industry-specific materials informatics platform for screening and designing metal oxide materials for a next generation solar redox reactor. You will draw on large data bases of computational results and undertake large numbers of simulations using density functional theory, to create a comprehensive resource for multivariate analytics and machine learning.
- Engage with experimental partners and international collaborators to create a database of existing results suitable for screening and processing using established thermochemical methods.
- Simulate the properties of a range of perovskite materials using density functional theory.
- Predict the structure/property relationships of perovskite materials using the most appropriate and reliable suite of machine learning methods.
- Contribute to the development of a bespoke materials informatics platform that can be repurposed in the future as other opportunities arise.
- Undertake regular reviews of relevant literature and patents.
Location: Docklands VIC
