Kongens Lyngby

The Section for Atomic Scale Materials Modelling at DTU Energy is looking for outstanding candidates for a PhD position within the fields of machine learning for molecular science and catalysis. The research positions are part an ambitious research project DELIGHT: DEep LearnIng Green cHemical caTalysis, which brings together researchers from DTU Energy, DTU Compute and Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen. In this project, we will develop a deep learning framework for reverse engineering of biocatalysts and pave the way for artificial (electro)catalysts capable of producing green fuels and chemicals; specifically an artificial nitrogenase catalyst for production of ammonia.

Project descriptions
The successful candidate will develop and apply (a) variational approach to Markov state models to capture long time-scale dynamics of the nitrogenase enzyme protein during the nitrogen fixation process and (b) a learning framework for discovering complex and unintuitive reaction pathways in structurally dynamic enzyme systems.

This project will run in parallel with other PhD and postdoc projects within the DELIGHT collaborative team, and it will also be linked to other ongoing projects in the section working on clean energy materials and machine learning for accelerated materials discovery.

Qualifications
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

The successful candidate will have obtained excellent grades in his/her Bachelor and Master educations. A solid background in machine learning theory and software development is required. Moreover, knowledge of molecular and materials science through university level courses or project work is preferred. Furthermore, the candidate should be highly motivated and willing to work in a team. Good communication skills in both spoken and written English are a requirement.

Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see the DTU PhD Guide. http://www.dtu.dk/english/Education/PhD/Rules/PhDguide
