Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Modelling of Photoelectrochemical CO2 Reduction, to work under the supervision of Professor Michail Stamatakis for a period of up to 12 months in the first instance, with the possibility of an extension, subject to funding.
The project entails the development of a kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) framework for the simulation of photocatalytic reactions, and its application on CO2 recycling and is funded by the European Commission.

About you
Applicants must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Engineering or a relevant subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in statistical mechanics method development, with particular emphasis on kinetic Monte Carlo approaches, and in software development, including version control (Git or similar). Experience in ab initio methods and specifically calculations of excited electronic states is desirable.
You will be expected to manage your own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines.
The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, University of Oxford and is available from November 2025.
