STEM Expert - Chemistry & Computational Chemistry (PhD)

Chemistry and computational chemistry PhDs evaluate problems, workflows and reasoning chains on topics from reaction mechanisms and synthesis planning to spectroscopy and molecular simulation. Their critiques and recommendations support AI benchmarking efforts, and they also document their methods for the customer's team. Several chemistry subfields are welcome.

What you would do

• Design, evaluate and critique chemistry problems and reasoning chains for AI benchmarking
• Review reaction mechanisms, synthesis plans, spectroscopy and simulation work
• Assess protocols, simulation parameters and software settings for reproducibility
• Document findings and best practices for the customer's team

What the listing asks for

• Doctorate in chemistry or a neighboring field such as computational chemistry, chemical biology or materials science
• Hands-on lab research, or heavy simulation research for computational specialties
• Written and spoken English at C1 or higher
• Python and/or tools such as Gaussian, ORCA, Psi4, GROMACS, LAMMPS or RDKit
• Preferred: Academic experience such as postdoc, research scientist or faculty

Suits professionals who hold a chemistry doctorate with real lab or simulation research behind them and can explain scientific reasoning clearly.
