Résumé du poste

ixolabs.ai seeks a PhD in chemistry to translate substantive chemical problems into reproducible computational assignments and to implement or check reference approaches. You will validate environments and assess whether calculated results support the intended chemical conclusions.

Strong programming in Python or R, with Git/GitHub and Docker for reproducible work; peer-reviewed experience helps. Remote assignments are scheduled by agreement and can vary in weekly hours.

Qualifications

• PhD in chemistry or related field with depth in computational and quantum chemistry.
• Scientific programming in Python or R; use Git/GitHub and Docker to submit reproducible work.

Responsabilités

• Translate chemical problems into reproducible computational assignments.
• Validate environments and assess whether results support conclusions.
• Document methods, tests, and assumptions for alternative solutions.

Description du poste

Work you will do

• Translate a substantive chemical problem into a reproducible computational assignment.
• Implement or check the reference approach, validate the environment and assess whether the calculated result supports the intended chemical conclusion.
• Document the methods and tests needed to judge an alternative solution, including important assumptions and numerical limitations.

Required background and routes

• A completed PhD in chemistry or a related chemical science, with demonstrated depth in both computational chemistry and quantum chemistry.
• Scientific programming in Python or R (another suitable scientific language is acceptable for the science tracks); use Git/GitHub and Docker to submit reproducible work through pull requests and automated checks.

Preferred background

• Peer-reviewed publications, research software development or research-engineering experience.

Deliverables

Submit the completed technical artifact or assessment with its supporting evidence, explicit assumptions, reproducible checks where applicable, and concise reasons for each material judgment. Address review findings within the agreed scope.

Location and schedule

Remote assignments are scheduled by agreement, with no guaranteed weekly volume. Availability planning can include 40, 20• hours per week depending on the track. Indicative assignment lengths include 6 weeks. IXO confirms the applicable timing before work.

Pay and working terms

$75/hr USD. The agreed hourly rate, scope, schedule and acceptance criteria are confirmed before work starts. Applying does not guarantee an assignment. Use public, licensed or otherwise authorized material only; do not submit confidential employer information, personal data or restricted research.
