About this role

Computational Materials Scientist Gaithersburg, Maryland Summary NIST is seeking a Computational Materials Scientist to develop multi-physics, multi-scale models for quantum materials, semiconductors, and metals. Design high-throughput workflows and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, including graph neural networks and Machine Learning (ML) force fields. Investigate transport and superconductivity to accelerate U.S. semiconductor innovation. This notice is issued under direct-hire authority to recruit talent that NIST has a severe shortage of candidates. Duties In this position, you will: Plan and design computational workflows independently for advanced material simulations. Perform and analyze routine electronic structure calculations using density functional theory (DFT). Conduct research on the properties of quantum materials and semiconductor systems. Train, test, and evaluate Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to accelerate materials simulations. Prepare and disseminate workflows, technical reports, and materials data to the scientific community. Education This position has an education requirement. Transcripts must be submitted to validate that the education requirement has been met. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted in the application package. However, an official copy will be required before a final offer of employment. Use of foreign education for qualifications.
