**Job Description**
This postdoctoral position at the University of Amsterdam focuses on using advanced Machine Learning techniques to predict the anharmonic vibrational spectra of large Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, which are widespread in astronomical environments. The project is a collaboration between the groups of Dr. Alessandra Candian, Dr. Daniela Huppenkothen (API), and Prof. Wybren Jan Buma (HIMS), funded by the Molecular and Materials design program (MMD Hub). The role aims to apply machine learning to overcome the computational expense of calculating anharmonic spectra for large PAHs.
**Skills & Abilities**
