[MAT] Applied Computational Surface Chemist

The Role We’re hiring an Applied Computational Surface Chemist to build rigorous evaluations and benchmarks for Prometheus’s materials models across ALD/ALE, catalysis, and other surface chemistry problems. You’ll work closely with ML researchers, computational scientists, and experimental teams to ensure our models can solve complex, real-world surface chemistry problems. What You’ll Do - Build state-of-the-art evaluations and benchmarks for ALD, ALE, catalysis, and related surface chemistry problems - Translate real-world industrial and research problems into rigorous model evaluation tasks - Apply computational surface chemistry methods to validate model predictions - Identify challenging edge cases that require deep domain expertise - Work with experimental teams to benchmark predictions against physical results and continuously improve evals - Partner with ML researchers to identify model failure modes and prioritize areas for improvement What We’re Looking For - Deep expertise in computational surface chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis, or related fields - Strong experience applying computational methods to real-world surface chemistry problems - Experience with ALD/ALE, semiconductor process chemistry, or industrial catalysis is a plus - Strong understanding of adsorption, reaction mechanisms, surface energetics, and kinetics - Experience working closely with experimentalists and validating computational predictions - Ability to independently reason through difficult or unusual surface chemistry problems
