Role Description:

We’re looking for a candidate to contribute to the development of state-of-the-art machine learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) for materials and molecular modelling/simulations.

As a PhD Intern in the London Research Team you will be responsible for 

implementing and developing active learning strategies for fine-tuning ML-driven atomistic models. This involves identifying and investigating promising research directions related to efficient data acquisition, model uncertainty, and generalisation across chemical systems. 

Recent advances in machine learning, including pre-trained models and automated data selection techniques, offer exciting opportunities for adaptive simulation pipelines in materials discovery. However, many open challenges remain on how to best integrate active learning with atomistic simulations at scale. Your work will help address these challenges, combining rigorous experimentation with novel algorithmic insights.

We empower individuals to celebrate their uniqueness here at InstaDeep. Our team comes from all walks of life, and we’re proud to continue encouraging and supporting applicants from underrepresented groups across the globe. Our commitment to creating an authentic environment comes from our ability to learn and grow from our diversity, and how better to experience this than by joining our team? We operate on a hybrid work model with guidance to work at the office 3 days per week to encourage close collaboration and innovation. We are continuing to review the situation with the well-being of InstaDeepers at the forefront of our minds.
