FAIRmat (www.fairmat-nfdi.eu) stands for FAIR Data Infrastructure for Condensed-Matter Physics and the Chemical Physics of Solids and is a consortium within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). FAIRmat is building a FAIR data infrastructure for materials science and related research fields. The consortium is also developing NOMAD (www.nomad-lab.eu), an open-source and customizable platform for research data management across synthesis, experimentation, and computation, and operates a public deployment that is among the world's largest data repositories in computational materials science. Our highly dynamic and international team consists of members from software development, condensed matter physics/chemistry, and materials science. We are looking for 8 committed colleagues to strengthen our interdisciplinary team.
