What is an atomistic simulation postdoc?

Atomistic simulation postdocs are researchers who have completed their PhD and are engaged in postdoctoral research focusing on using computational methods to study materials and systems at the atomic or molecular level. Their work often involves running simulations, such as molecular dynamics or density functional theory, to understand the properties and behaviors of materials. These postdocs typically work in academic or research institutions, contributing to scientific advancements in fields like physics, chemistry, materials science, or engineering. They also collaborate with experimentalists and may help develop new simulation methods or software.
