Jochen Blumberger at the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Laboratory, University College London, UK.

Interested candidates may want to work on one of the following two projects.

Project 1: Machine Learning Molecular Dynamics.

The project involves the** development and application of machine learning methods that enable a major boost of the time and length scales accessible to ab-initio/first principles molecular dynamics simulations.** You will contribute to the development of novel work flow...

The global need for researchers with capabilities in materials chemistry, digital intelligence and automation is intensifying because of the growing challenge posed by Net Zero and the need for high-performance materials across multiple sectors. The disruptive nature of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and emerging quantum computing offers timely and exciting opportunities for PhD graduates with these skills to make a transformative impact on both R&D and society more b...

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.

Applications are invited for an experimental researcher post available from July 2026 for 2 years. The researcher will be part of the NanoPhotonics group, which looks at nanoscale assembly and NanoPhotonics interactions. The candidate will join a dynamic and diverse team that values collaboration. The role holder will develop novel infrared spectroscopy on self-assembled plasmonic nanocavities to study nonlinear ...
