**Campus**: St. George (Downtown Toronto)

**Description**:
The Acceleration Consortium (AC) promotes inclusive research environment and supports the EDI priorities of the unit.

**_

The Acceleration Consortium received a $200M Canadian First Research Excellence Grant for seven years to develop self-driving labs for chemistry and materials, the largest ever grant to a Canadian University. This grant will provide the Acceleration Consortium with seven years of funding to execute its vision.

The AC is developing seven advanced SDLs plus an AI and Automation lab:

- SDL1 - Inorganic solid-state compounds for advanced materials and energy
- SDL2 - Organic small molecules for sustainability and health
- SDL5 - Formulations for pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and coatings
- SDL6 - Biocompatibility with organoids / organ-on-a-chip
- SDL7 - Synthetic scale-up of materials and molecules (University of British Colombia partner lab)
- A central AI and Automation lab to support all the SDLs

**This posted position is for a Staff Research Scientist within SDL2: Organic**

**Expertise in one or more of the following areas is desired**:
Organic small molecules expertise
- High-throughput organic materials synthesis, purification, and processing
- Spectroscopic, chromatographic, crystallographic, thermal, and/or physicochemical characterization of organic small molecules.
- Applications of organic small molecules such as: energy storage and conversion, catalysis, pharmaceuticals, optoelectronics, and more

Artificial intelligence / automation expertise
- Machine learning to accelerate the discovery of molecules and materials
- Robotics and automation
- Experimental planning and design/optimization
- Programming and high-performance computing
- Materials informatics

The Staff Research Scientists will work with a diverse team of leading experts at U of T, including: Professors Alán Aspuru-Guzik, Sophie Rousseaux, and more.

We are hiring both Staff Scientists and Staff Research Scientists. While Staff Scientists are expected to have 5 years of post-PhD experience, individuals with a relevant Ph.D. and associated expertise can qualify for Staff Research Scientist.

The Staff Research Scientists involved in the AC are highly skilled and experienced researchers who will work independently to develop the AI and automation technologies required to build robust and scalable self-driving labs, manage these SDLs, and design and implement research programs (based on the direction of the AC’s scientific leadership team) that leverage the SDL platforms to discover materials and molecules. Moreover, the Staff Research Scientists will work collectively, sharing knowledge among each other, faculty, and trainees. This role will report to the Academic Director and Executive Director of the Acceleration Consortium.

**The components and duties of the work can 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. Developing customized hardware and Python software packages to build SDLs. Selecting, procurement, and installation of the equipment required for SDLs.
- **
Research Direction**

Tasks include:

- Implementing research and development projects of AC’s industry partners when implemented in AC labs.
