Postdoc position in Data-driven design of organic mixed conductors, King's College London, UK (Deadline: 08.02.2026)

The research group of Dr Micaela Matta is seeking to appoint a highly motivated and experienced postdoctoral research associate in computational materials chemistry.

The position is funded by the EPSRC project “Data-driven design of organic mixed conductors”.

Mixed ionic/electronic conducting materials are being developed for applications in bioelectronics, biosensing, energy storage and neuromorphic computing. However, the lack of general structure-property relationships is a bottleneck for systematic material development.
In this project, the candidate will conduct a high throughput computational screening of novel organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors leveraging AI, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics simulations. The candidate will work in close collaboration with experimental groups providing validation/testing of novel mixed conducting materials.

The project has a strong emphasis on software development; the candidate will develop and maintain workflows and datasets related to the project according to FAIR principles, supported by Dr Matta and KCL’s E-Research Team.

This is a full time post (37.5 hours per week), and you will be offered an a fixed term contract for 2 years.
