Research Assistant/Associate in Crystal Structure Prediction
4 months ago
The Role
We are looking to appoint a Research Assistant/Associate in the computational structure prediction of solid-state battery materials in the Ion Transport and Interfaces Group of Dr. James A. Dawson at Newcastle University. The position is initially for 2 years with the possibility of extension to 4 years.
The position is focused on both cathode and solid electrolyte materials for solid-state batteries. Specifically, the successful candidate will use atomistic modelling methods to predict and validate the crystalline, amorphous and glass-ceramic structures of state-of-the-art and new solid-state battery materials. The project will focus on developing and applying atomistic modelling to characterise the structure of lattice energy surfaces to understand finite temperature effects on the landscape of possible crystal structures and kinetic influences on which structures are formed experimentally. The successful candidate will also be expected to perform molecular dynamics and density functional theory simulations on the predicted materials and their interfaces to determine their properties, including, for example, ionic conductivity and interfacial stability.
You will be involved in a large UKRI Frontier Research Grant (“AMPed”) that will be carried out in collaboration with world-leading experimental partners in the UK, Europe and North America. Our ambition is to develop and apply state-of-the-art computational and experimental techniques to provide a fundamental understanding of structure, ion transport and interfaces in solid electrolytes for clean energy applications. Such an understanding will allow for the design of enhanced solid-state batteries and other energy devices.
For informal enquiries please contact Dr. James A. Dawson

Applications should be made through the Newcastle University jobs portal: , where you are invited to provide evidence of how you meet the essential criteria required for the role outlined in ‘The Person’ by uploading a letter of application along with your Curriculum Vitae (CV).
Key Accountabilities
To plan and perform atomistic simulations to predict the structures of crystalline and amorphous/glassy materials for batteries Contribute to the development of new and existing codes for the prediction of solid-state materials To run computational experiments, as part of collaborations with experimental collaborators, and ensuring that these experiments are appropriately supervised and supported Record, analyse and write up the results of simulations To disseminate research results through appropriate media. This will include authoring or co-authoring papers for publication in high-quality academic journals To contribute to the training of new research staff, students and outside groups, including industrial scientists, in the use of the computational tools Contribute to learning and development through the provision of documentation, training and advice Undertake relevant training and development activities in order to develop an awareness of own professional development needs To prepare progress reports on research for funding bodies as required Any other duties within the scope and general nature of the grade which may be requiredThe Person
Knowledge, Skills and Experience Experience in the prediction of solid-state and/or energy materials Experience in developing and/or adapting code for structure prediction Experience in molecular dynamics and electronic structure simulations Experience in Python programming Excellent written and oral communication skills High level of problem-solving capacityAttributes and Behaviour
