The group of Professor Gerbrand Ceder at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has graduate student and postdoctoral positions available.
The Ceder group is involved in the development of materials and synthesis theory and design of materials, from ab initio computation to experimental synthesis and characterization to machine learning. Applications include energy capture, conversion, and storage. Our theory and modeling work is done in close collaboration with our experimental group for synthesis and characterization of novel materials, leading to many opportunities for cross-fertilization. We give individuals the opportunity to collaborate on multiple internal and external projects, as well as supervise graduate students. Many of our alumni have gone on to leading positions in academia and in the private sector. More information about our research group can be found at https://ceder.berkeley.edu.
We particularly value innovation and a passion to bridge fundamental scientific inquiry and high-impact applications. Our group offers candidates the opportunity to work in a highly interdisciplinary and dynamic environment. There are no citizenship restrictions. Starting dates are negotiable. We ask those interested to send their curriculum vitae and references to ceder-hr-comp@lbl.gov for computational positions and ceder-hr-exp@lbl.gov for experimental positions.
Currently, the Ceder group has positions available in computational design and understanding of energy materials, experimental synthesis and characterization of energy materials, and machine learning and AI.
