The Acceleration Consortium (AC) at the University of Toronto (U of T) is leading a transformative shift in scientific discovery that will accelerate technology development and commercialization. The AC is a global community of academia, industry, and government that leverages the power of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, materials sciences, and high-throughput chemistry to create self-driving laboratories (SDLs), also called materials acceleration platforms (MAPs). These autonomous labs rapidly design materials and molecules needed for a sustainable, healthy, and resilient future, with applications ranging from renewable energy and consumer electronics to drugs. AC Senior Staff Scientists will advance the field of AI-driven autonomous discovery and develop the materials and molecules required to address society's largest challenges, such as climate change, water pollution, and future pandemics.

Expertise that is desired: Polymer synthesis

  • Synthesis and purification of polymers
  • Combinatorial synthesis of sequence-defined polymers such as biopolymers

Additional expertise that is desired (but not required): Automation

  • Robotics and automation
  • Machine learning to accelerate the discovery of molecules and materials
  • Experimental planning and design/optimization
  • Programming and high-performance computing

The components and duties of the work include:

SDL and Automation Development

Working with the AC community, including faculty and partners to determine the required capabilities of the SDLs to be built. Developing the plans for SDLs that will meet user requirements and designing novel instruments for automated material synthesis and characterization.

Facility Management and Operations

Working with the department of Chemistry, Facilities and Operations, and AC research staff to ensure that the AC labs are fully operational.

Research Direction

Working as a co-investigator, in partnership with the Principal Investigator, independent management, development, and execution of research programs that leverage the AC’s SDLs. Using SDLs to synthesize and characterize large quantities of candidate molecules, calibrating theoretical models with experimental data, predicting promising candidates with computational tools and machine learning algorithms, and elucidating structure-property relationships of emerging molecules, polymers, solid-state materials, formulations, etc.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

Education– Ph.D. in chemistry, materials science, life sciences, physics, engineering, robotics, computer science, or related discipline.

Experience

  • Over 10 years of experience in accelerated research and development in the area of polymer synthesis.
  • Experience working closely with a Principal Investigator or as a Principal Investigator, or as a Project Director with responsibilities of managing, developing and executing a major research project.
  • Strong experience and expert knowledge of AI and automation.
