Responsibilities
- Develop empirical force fields to accurately model molecular interactions relevant to drug discovery
- Thoroughly characterize the accuracy of the force fields for a comprehensive set of small molecules that are representative of potential drug molecules
- Develop robust protocols for parameterizing classical force fields and validate such protocols against a wide range of experimental data
- Maintain the most accurate versions of force fields in our platform in order to support drug discovery projects
Required Qualifications
- Highly motivated to develop computational methods for discovering better medicines
- M.S. or Ph.D. in computational physics/chemistry, physical chemistry/chemical physics, applied mathematics, or related fields
- Past experience in MD simulations, and/or force field development
- Extensive programming experience (C/C++ and Python preferred)
- Excellent communication skills and strong team player
Additional Desirable Qualifications
- Experience working with a diverse team on an ambitious project
- Past experience in quantum chemistry
