Job Summary Research and develop AI-driven systems for autonomous materials discovery, with focus on crystal structure prediction and property optimization. Design hybrid world models combining symbolic physics simulators with neural surrogates, and implement LLM-guided search algorithms coordinated through reinforcement learning and Bayesian optimization frameworks targeting accelerated discovery of superconductors, catalysts, and functional materials. Bridge the sim-to-real gap by integrating computational chemistry tools (DFT, molecular dynamics) with autonomous laboratory feedback loops for closed-loop experimentation and model refinement. Key Responsibilities: Conduct original research at the intersection of materials science and machine learning, leading to publications in top conferences and journals (e.g., NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, Nature Materials, JACS, Physical Review). Design and implement algorithms for materials discovery using reinforcement learning, Bayesian optimization, and LLM-guided search. Develop and validate world models for materials systems, including hybrid symbolic-neural simulators and surrogate models for expensive quantum mechanical calculations. Collaborate with domain experts to translate materials science problems into computational frameworks and validate results against experimental data. Actively engage with both the ML and materials research communities through publications, open-source contributions, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. This job description is only an outline of the tasks, responsibilities and outcomes required of the role. The jobholder will carry out any other duties as may be reasonably required by his/her line manager. The job description and personal specification may be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the changing needs of Huawei Research and Development UK Limited. Required: Master's or PhD (or currently pursuing) in Materials Science, Computational Chemistry, Chemical Physics, or related field, with demonstrated exposure to machine learning applications.
