We are seeking a motivated individual to join our research group as a part-time Computational Chemistry Research Assistant. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge research at the intersection of computational chemistry and analytical instrumentation, with the potential to extend to full‑time depending on performance and project needs.
Responsibilities- Set up, run, and analyze quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations
- Develop and apply machine learning models to chemical and spectrometric data
- Process, interpret, and visualize computational and experimental results
- Document methods and findings, and contribute to group discussions and meetings
