What You Will Do
Staff in the AI4ND group in the X-Computational Physics Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory are seeking a candidate for a 10 to 12 weeks Graduate Student Internship focusing on computational material science, with an emphasis on the development of novel data generation methods for training robust ML models. The position supports several research projects focused on the development of highly transferable Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials and in their application to a broad range of physical systems including low-dimensional systems and extreme conditions. The research will involve the design, implementation, and evaluation of advanced computational algorithms to:

• Characterize the diversity of training datasets along several metrics
• Develop training data generation algorithm to maximize diversity along these metrics
• Train ML models to generated datasets
• Extensively validate the models for accuracy and transferability

The student will implement the developed methods in Python or Julia.
The ideal candidate will be pursuing the above topic for their own research in their university.
What You Need
Minimum Job Requirements:

• Familiarity with modern ML approaches to surrogate model design and training
• Demonstrated expertise with the development and use of ML interatomic potentials for materials
• Strong programming experience with differentiable programming frameworks (Python, Julia)
• Strong written and oral communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to conduct independent and collaborative research

Education/Experience :

• Must be enrolled (6 semester credit hours or full-time equivalent) in an accredited, degree-granting graduate level program (or international equivalent) in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, or related fields
