• A computational chemistry expert who’s had hands‑on experience with real‑world molecular and materials science problems, especially with all-atom and coarse‑grained simulations of complex formulations
• A skilled Python and shell scripter who enjoys prototyping simulation tools, integrating computational chemistry software, and automating high-throughput simulations
• An excellent communicator and team player who can translate complex scientific concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• A detail‑oriented scientist eager to work on diverse projects with industrial partners

What you’ll do:

• Perform molecular simulations-focused projects using Schrödinger tools and meet project deadlines
• Solve formulation problems with large scale simulations using coarse‑grained MD and enhanced sampling techniques
• Develop and apply Python and shell scripts for simulation automation and data analysis
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to identify and implement molecular modeling solutions for various industries
• Present technical results in internal and external meetings
• Contribute to scientific publications and research projects

What you should have:

• PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field
• Deep background in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and its applications in materials science
• Familiarity with coarse-grained simulation (DPD or Martini preferred) and enhanced sampling techniques
• Proven expertise in Python scripting, particularly in conjunction with scientific software tools
• Exposure to high-performance computing (HPC) environments and Linux operating systems
• Proven research track record of publications in the computational modeling field
