But the two worlds do not always connect.\nWe think there is a better way.\nWHAT WE ARE BUILDING\nGREEN14 started five years ago with a mission to develop emission-free production of critical raw materials using hydrogen plasma.\nToday, we operate a full-scale plasma reactor in Stockholm. Alongside it, we have built capabilities in multiphysics simulation, AI and surrogate modelling.\nOur ambition is to connect experiments, physics, chemistry and AI to build fast surrogate models that help engineers understand and optimize industrial processes.\nUltimately, we want to answer a valuable question:\nWhat should I change to get the product I want?\nYOUR ROLE\nYou will sit between process engineering, computational science and industry.\nInternally, you will help us understand what happens inside our reactor, particularly where plasma interacts with materials.\nPlasma-material interactions can involve extreme heating rates, reactive species, heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, melting, evaporation, reduction and phase transformations.\nWhich phenomena control the outcome? Which reactions are thermodynamically possible and kinetically relevant? What happens as particles heat, melt, react and cool? What needs to be represented in a model and what can be simplified?\nYou will work with process engineers running experiments and simulation engineers translating physics and chemistry into computational models.\nSometimes the answer will be better physics. Sometimes better chemistry. Sometimes better data. And sometimes the model will simply be wrong.\nKnowing the difference is part of the job.\nBEYOND OUR REACTOR\nWe also want you to understand challenges facing engineers across plasma, metallurgy and other high-temperature industries.\nWhere are companies spending months running physical trials? Where are scale-up problems difficult to predict? Where are simulations too slow to support engineering decisions?\nMost importantly, where could our ability to combine multiphysics, experimental data and AI into fast surrogate models make a meaningful difference?\nYou will meet process engineers, researchers and industrial partners, understand their processes and help us identify which problems are worth solving.\nWHO YOU ARE\nYou have a PhD or equivalent experience in computational chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, physical chemistry, computational materials science or a related field.\nYou understand areas such as high-temperature thermodynamics, reaction kinetics, phase transformations, surface reactions, plasma chemistry or heat and mass transfer.\nExperience with multiphysics, CFD, COMSOL, thermodynamic or kinetic modelling, CALPHAD, plasma modelling, Python or scientific computing is valuable.\nWe do not expect you to be an expert in everything.\nMore important is how you think.\nYou understand that a beautiful model is not necessarily a useful model. You care about assumptions, validation and whether predictions survive contact with experimental data.\nYou are also genuinely interested in industrial processes.\nWhen you meet a process engineer, your mind starts working:\nCould we model this? Could we validate it? Could we build a surrogate around it? Would solving it actually matter?\nThat is the mindset we are looking for.\nWHY GREEN14\nMany computational scientists model experiments performed somewhere else.\nHere, the reactor is downstairs.\nWe can simulate something, run an experiment, measure what happened and use the result to improve the model.\nOur ambition is broader than our own reactor. We believe the combination of multiphysics, chemistry, experimental data and AI can change how complex industrial processes are developed, scaled and optimized.\nHOW WE WORK\nYou will join a team of serious engineers and scientists who care deeply about getting things right.\nWe are international, curious and direct. We challenge each other's thinking and change our minds when the data tells us to.\nThere is very little hierarchy. Good ideas matter more than titles.\nWe are ambitious, but low on ego. We work hard, flexibly, and value having a life outside work.\nTHE PRACTICAL STUFF\nCompensation consists of salary and pension.\nWe are based at Sweden's leading technical university, close to central Stockholm, with our simulation team close to the reactor and experiments.\nIf you think chemistry, simulation and experiments should live much closer together, we would like to hear from you.\nThe position will remain open until we find the right person.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4839,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Sweden","iso":"SE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-04T20:27:36Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":24,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.531,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":40,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/green14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/green14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T15:36:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22239,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2499455},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2499455"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgreen14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgreen14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgreen14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/green14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgreen14-computational-materials-scientist-computational-chemist"}]}
