Research Engineer - Computational Workflow Development (Theoretical And Computational Nanoscience)

The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022 and 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: Research Engineer
Research area or group: Theoretical and Computational Nanoscience Group
Description of Group/Project: The TCN group is launching an activity on marrying Artificial Intelligence with its activities and numerical tools to access charge transport information in complex (disordered) van der Waals heterostructures. The project will contribute to the establishment of such a platform and interface with in-house computational artillery of TCN (www.lsquant.org) and to demonstrate predictive power of the methodology on neuromorphic computing applications.
Main Tasks and Responsibilities:

Develop and test a computational workflow interlinking the various databases and in-house simulation tools such as LSQUANT code (www.lsquant.org) implemented in the computing architecture of TCN/ICN2.

Requirements:

Education: PhD in physics or electrical/mechanical engineering
Knowledge: quantum mechanics, DFT simulations, programming machine learning techniques
Professional Experience: Programming in PYTHON/C languages
Personal Competences: Demonstrated competitive ability in using DFT simulations and machine learning techniques (optional)
