High-Throughput Experiments for AI-Driven Design of Materials

Postdoctoral Fellow, Johns Hopkins 

High-Throughput Experiments for AI-Driven Design of Materials

A new postdoctoral fellow position is available within the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute (hemi.jhu.edu) at Johns Hopkins University.  The position is in the development of semi-automated high-throughput experiments for the AI-driven design of materials. Our interest is in developing state of the art semi-automated experiments for the characterization of the response of materials to extreme conditions, including shocks, high strain rates, and high temperatures. 

The candidate should have strong experimental expertise together with a Ph.D. in mechanics, physics, materials science, or chemistry, and an interest in pushing the frontiers of materials science. A strong background in data science, machine learning, and experimental design would be very valuable. A willingness to work with software engineers, data scientists, materials synthesis and processing experts, and materials characterization experts is expected.

If you are interested, please send an email to dking65@jhu.edu with a single PDF file containing your curriculum vitae, the names of at least three references, and a brief (less than 1 page) research statement. Please use the subject line “HEMI Postdoctoral Fellow in High-Throughput Experiments.” Review of applications will begin March 31, but we will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
