Scholarships opportunities for prospective PhD students at King's
A 4-year, fully funded PhD studentship on “Data-driven design of organic mixed conductors” is available to both UK and international applicants for a start date of October 2025. The studentship is aligned to a 3-year EPSRC project which aims to develop a computational screening pipeline to discover novel organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors. The candidate will leverage cheminformatics, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics simulations, working in close collaboration with experimental groups.
For further information, reach out to Dr Micaela Matta.

Postdoc opportunities
We have an opening for a 3-year EPSRC-funded postdoc to work on high-throughput screening and optimisation of mixed ionic/electronic conductors.
The position is funded by the EPSRC project “Data-driven design of organic mixed conductors”.
In this project, the candidate will conduct a high throughput computational screening of novel organic mixed ionic/electronic conductors leveraging cheminformatics, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics simulations. The candidate will work in close collaboration with experimental groups providing validation/testing of novel mixed conducting materials.
The project has a strong emphasis on software development; the candidate will develop and maintain workflows and datasets related to the project according to FAIR principles.
For further information, reach out to Dr Micaela Matta.
