Job Description
We anticipate a postdoctoral position opening in the area of application of artificial intelligence in synchrotron x-ray scattering studies on advanced materials. The successful candidate will develop AI agents for x-ray scattering data analysis and atomic structure modeling by integrating large language models with physics-aware workflows.
Position Requirements
• A recent PhD (completed within 5 years, or soon to be completed) in computer science, engineering, computational science, a physical science (materials science, chemistry, physics etc.), or related field.
• Hands-on experience with AI frameworks and employing large language models.
• Strong Python skills and familiarity with LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI API), agent frameworks and python scientific stacks (e.g. numpy, pandas)
• Effective written and oral communications skills.
• Ability to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.
Preferred skills
Basic knowledge of x-ray scattering techniques and materials science
Central Michigan University is dedicated to fostering an environment that is reflective of the communities we serve. We are especially interested in highly qualified candidates who will advance and promote CMU’s mission, vision, and leadership standards.
