Job description

Job Type Full-Time

Overview

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is seeking to appoint a Computational Scientist to contribute to the advancement of modeling capabilities and physics research pertaining to using low-temperature plasmas for processing of two-dimensional materials and associated technologies. The primary responsibility of this position involves conducting and facilitating computational modeling of processing of 2D materials by low-temperature plasma for the purposes of scientific discovery and engineering design of these processes. The successful candidate will achieve this objective through the application of density functional theory (DFT) modeling of these processes using ab initio molecular dynamics (MD), and the utilization of machine learning potentials for MD acceleration. The candidate should have strong practical familiarity with MD simulations and band gap structure calculations of 2D material properties and connection to experimental measurements. Furthermore, the candidate should demonstrate substantial practical knowledge of 2D material properties and techniques employed in plasma processing, coupled with a proven track record of modeling of such discharges. The results will be disseminated to the broader academic and industrial communities, necessitating strong interpersonal and communication skills to cultivate these relationships. Finally, this role will encompass the conceptualization and preparation of novel proposal ideas to secure funding for future research projects.
