• 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

Pay and perks:

Our benefits include local transport reimbursement, a BahnCard 50, our Employee Equity Plan, the EGYM Wellpass (corporate fitness program), bike leasing, an employee volunteer program, our donation match program, access to the corporate benefits platform, a dedicated counseling service, and our travel insurance. When you’re in the office you can profit from our central location, the charging of personal devices with green energy, stocked kitchens with coffee/tea, fruit, snacks, and beverages, and the organization of team-building and social events.

Estimated base salary range: €70k to €150k. Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs.
