As a Specialist in Thermodynamic, Electrochemical, and Corrosion Modeling/Simulation, you will advance our state‑of‑the‑art simulation framework, develop and validate first‑principles models, and provide leadership across our research portfolio.

• Model Development:
  Develop, parameterize, and validate thermodynamic, electrochemical, and corrosion models.
• Project Leadership:
  Provide technical guidance and leadership for R&D projects, identifying opportunities and aligning with industry needs.
• Customization:
  Tailor and optimize models for industrial systems to enhance predictive capabilities in sectors such as oil and gas, metals and mining, power generation, and water treatment.
• Client
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with clients to ensure modeling solutions meet their simulation needs and provide guidance on application and interpretation.
• Multidisciplinary
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Collaborate with physical property researchers, process system engineers, and software developers to solve complex problems.
• Research Partnership:
  Engage with universities and national laboratories on joint theoretical and experimental studies, focusing on sustainability and asset integrity.

• Educational Background:
  PhD in Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry, Materials Science, Computational Electrochemistry, or a related field. Postdoctoral or industrial experience is preferred.
• Professional Expertise:
  Strong scientific modeling expertise (coding and computational methods); background in corrosion phenomena, thermodynamic and transport modeling, reaction kinetics, and mechanistic model development; experience in experimental data analysis and model parameterization.
• Familiarity with conventional chemical processes across upstream and downstream oil & gas, chemical, or power generation sectors is a plus.
• Proven expertise in phase/chemical equilibrium calculations and electrochemical or corrosion-related research and modeling is preferred.

• Numerical methods and scientific programming (C++, Python, MATLAB, Fortran).
• Regression analysis, data interpretation, model parameterization, and optimization.
• Experience with process simulation platforms (OLI, Aspen Plus, HYSYS, Pro II) is preferred.
• Familiarity with AI/ML‑enhanced modeling approaches such as PINNs and hybrid models is a plus.

• An opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking team redefining industrial chemistry and corrosion modeling.
• A collaborative and dynamic work environment where contributions are valued and recognized.
• Competitive compensation package.
