A PhD position is available in the context of the Marie Curie (MSCA) FutureData4EU program, Thematic Area 5 – Climate, Energy and Mobility, with title «Combining Machine Learning and Computational Chemistry to explore the chemical space of functional materials»
The project aims at combining computational chemistry to artificial intelligence / machine learning on target energy-related applications concerning photoactive organic materials with a focus on the production and management of large amount of data.
Desirable characteristics of the candidate are:
– Computational skills and a passion for computer science and modelling are a must, as the PhD will involve a significant amount of coding (mostly in Python).
– experience in high performance computing and in ML/AI methods
– familiarity with basics of mainstream programming languages (e.g., C/C++, Fortran9X, Java, Python)
– experience in molecular modelling
– good communications skills, scientific curiosity, and interest in interdisciplinary research
The research will be carried out in the Department of Industrial Chemistry https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://industrial-chemistry.unibo.it/en/__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!UEMrxaTJyXG46k62IkMQ2JH5tzrwrx2X9tZ_NwIvb061qH0uVL5hKfvcgugMGFFUVzDl35xRLiZXT4Bm2HwBHMDbgg$ , in the Spectroscopy and Computational Chemistry group https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://site.unibo.it/spectroscopy-computational-chemistry/en__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!UEMrxaTJyXG46k62IkMQ2JH5tzrwrx2X9tZ_NwIvb061qH0uVL5hKfvcgugMGFFUVzDl35xRLiZXT4Bm2HxtLRmoJQ$
