Temp Research Assistant

The Temporary Research Assistant will lLead modeling efforts that advance our understanding of chemical systems. This role involves applying molecular modeling, simulations, and data analysis to study reaction mechanisms, material properties, or biomolecular interactions.

The ideal candidate will design and run simulations (e.g., DFT, molecular dynamics), analyze and interpret results, and collaborate with experimental teams to guide and validate findings. Responsibilities also include maintaining computational workflows, documenting methodologies, and contributing to publications or reports.

Candidates should have a degree in chemistry, chemical physics, or a related field, with experience in computational tools and programming (such as Python or similar). Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex results clearly are essential.

The hourly pay rate for the position is $23.50/hr.
