Computational Materials Scientist Group Leader - Manager

 

Position open for Computational Materials Scientist Group Leader/Manager in a 
nanotechnology start-up company (in Silicon Valley, CA) focusing on 
multi-scale modeling and simulations of new composite nanoparticle material 
in the catalyst application area.

 

We are searching for a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science or 
associated disciplines with solid foundation and demonstrated extensive 
experience in understanding and modeling of surface chemistry at the Quantum 
physics level for nano-catalyst material design and development.  It is 
highly desirable for a candidate to have working experience in Quantum 
mechanical density-functional theory methods and molecular dynamics 
simulations as well as data analysis and data modeling of heterogeneous 
catalytic reactivity.  The successful candidate should be able to lead the 
company computational team and activities to make solid connections between 
Quantum chemistry level modeling simulation and experimental characterization 
processes and results interpretation.  A prior knowledge of heterogeneous 
catalysis development in automobile catalytic converter or related field will 
be useful.  A proven technical team leader with greater than 2-5 years 
industry experience is essential.

 

Key experience: Organometallic chemistry, homogeneous or heterogeneous 
catalysis, surface reactivity chemistry, theoretical chemistry with DFT 
(Density Functional Theory), quantum chemistry, management experience.
