The Entropy for Energy Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University (PI Corey Oses) has openings for postdoctoral researchers in the data-driven discovery of energy materials. Projects focus on innovating clean hydrogen production, waste-heat conversion, nuclear power generation, and energy storage.
Qualifications
A. Doctorate in materials science, physics, chemistry, computer science or related fields.
B. Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal. The dissemination of research findings through peer-reviewed articles and presentations is mission critical.
C. Ability to lead research projects and collaborate with experimentalists.
D. Understanding of thermodynamics of materials, solid-state physics, inorganic chemistry, and metallurgy.
E. Strong programming skills in C and Python and proficiency with Unix systems.
F. Proven experience with VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, LAMMPS, or other ab-initio codes.
G. Expertise in any of the following areas: high-entropy materials, disorder, phonons, magnetism, catalysis, machine learning/artificial intelligence, database/API development, aflow.org repositories.
Graduate students near the completion of their Ph.D. are welcome to apply.

Johns Hopkins University remains committed to its founding principle, that education for all students should be grounded in exploration and discovery. Hopkins students are challenged not just to learn but also to advance learning itself. Critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and entrepreneurship are all encouraged and nourished in this unique educational environment. After more than 130 years, Johns Hopkins remains a world leader in both teaching and research. Faculty members and their research colleagues at the university's Applied Physics Laboratory have each year since 1979 won Johns Hopkins more federal research and development funding than any other university. The university has nine academic divisions and campuses throughout the Baltimore-Washington area. The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting School of Engineering, the School of Education and the Carey Business School are based at the Homewood campus in northern Baltimore. The schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing share a campus in east Baltimore with The Johns Hopkins Hospital. The Peabody Institute, a leading professional school of music, is located on Mount Vernon Place in downtown Bal...timore. The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies is located in Washington's Dupont Circle area.
