Remote Computational Chemist for AI Chemistry Benchmarks

SaidGig; New York (NY); À distance; USD 55 000 - 83 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

SaidGig seeks a remote contract computational chemistry specialist to help train and evaluate AI systems using rigorous real-world scientific input. The role centers on designing workflows, benchmarking, validation, and clear scientific communication.

You will guide molecular simulations, electronic structure methods, and cheminformatics pipelines, while documenting methods and best practices for knowledge transfer within the team.

Qualifications

• PhD in chemistry, computational chemistry, or a closely related field, or equivalent industry or research experience.
• Deep expertise in computational chemistry methods and simulation-intensive environments.
• Strong scientific programming and analytical workflow experience, particularly with Python.
• Experience with Gaussian, ORCA, Psi4, NWChem, GROMACS, LAMMPS, AMBER, RDKit, or OpenBabel is preferred.
• Excellent quantitative analysis, analytical reasoning, and scientific problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document and explain technical concepts clearly.
• A record of rigorous problem-solving in complex chemistry domains.

Responsabilités

• Design, evaluate, and critique advanced computational chemistry workflows for AI benchmarking initiatives.
• Provide expert guidance on molecular simulations, electronic structure methods, and cheminformatics pipelines.
• Assess and optimize simulation parameters and scientific software configurations to support accuracy and reproducibility.
• Analyze molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and drug discovery data, then provide actionable recommendations.
• Help guide the development and validation of chemistry-focused AI models and tools.
• Explain complex scientific concepts clearly to technical and non-technical collaborators, in writing and verbally.
• Document findings, methodologies, and best practices to support knowledge transfer across the team.
