What is the difference between Full Time Catalysis vs Full Time Chemist?

AspectFull Time CatalysisFull Time Chemist
Required CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or related field; experience in catalysisBachelor's or Master's in Chemistry or related field; general chemistry knowledge
Work EnvironmentLaboratories, research facilities, industrial plantsLaboratories, research centers, manufacturing settings
Industry UsageSpecialized in catalysis processes, petrochemicals, environmental applicationsBroader chemistry roles across various industries
Common Search/ComparisonYesYes

Full Time Catalysis roles focus specifically on developing and optimizing catalytic processes, often requiring specialized knowledge in catalysis chemistry. Full Time Chemist positions cover a wider range of chemistry tasks across multiple industries. While both roles require a chemistry background, catalysis positions demand additional expertise in catalytic reactions and processes.

Job description

The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division invites applications for aPostdoctoral Appointeeto contribute to innovative research at the intersection ofcomputational catalysis, quantum chemistry, and artificial intelligence. This position offers an exciting opportunity to advance fundamental understanding of heterogeneous catalysis through bothfirst-principles simulationsand the development ofnext-generation AI approaches.

The successful candidate will performquantum mechanical calculationsto investigate catalytic active sites and reaction mechanisms in heterogeneous catalytic systems. In parallel, they will design and developagentic AIand physics-aware AI modelsto accelerate discovery and deepen mechanistic insight in catalysis. This work will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental researchers, providing a highly integrated and interdisciplinary research environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct computational studies of catalytic active sites and reaction pathways using quantum mechanical methods

  • Develop advanced AI/ML models, including agentic and physics-aware approaches, for applications in catalysis

  • Collaborate closely with experimental teams to connect computational predictions with experimental observations

  • Communicate research results effectively through publications, presentations, and team interactions

Position Requirements

  • Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, or a closely related field

  • A strong foundation inquantum mechanicsandelectronic structure theory

  • Demonstrated expertise in developing advancedAI/ML modelsfor applications inphysics, chemistry, or materials science

  • Experience withperiodic simulation codessuch asVASP

  • Proficiency inPython programming

  • Excellentwritten and oral communication skills

  • Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
