Computational Chemistry Expert - Remote India

What You'll Do5

• Create advanced chemistry problems and scenarios that reflect real simulation, modeling, and reaction workflows.
• Evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, reproducibility, and alignment with practical chemistry methods.
• Write structured feedback that identifies errors, gaps, and weak reasoning in model answers.
• Use quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, or cheminformatics tools to ground tasks in credible domain practice.
• Complete tasks on your own schedule, with no minimum hour requirement.

Requirements10

• PhD in computational, physical, or theoretical chemistry. An MS plus pharma or materials industry experience also qualifies.
• First-author publications or a record of running production-scale simulation or DFT workflows.
• Depth in at least one sub-domain: quantum chemistry with Gaussian, ORCA, Psi4, or VASP; molecular dynamics with GROMACS or LAMMPS; or cheminformatics with RDKit and reaction or thermodynamic modeling.
• Meet at least two of the three core qualifications above to apply.
• Experience with multiple quantum chemistry, MD, and cheminformatics platforms strengthens your application.
• Production simulation or DFT pipeline work in pharma, materials, or energy research is a plus.
• Indian work authorization.
• Strong written communication and attention to detail.
• Ability to explain complex chemistry concepts in clear terms.
• Ability to work on your own in a remote, asynchronous setting.

Who Should Apply

The strongest candidate holds a PhD in computational, physical, or theoretical chemistry and can show first-author work or production-scale DFT runs. You likely fit if you have deep hands-on use of Gaussian, GROMACS, or RDKit, plus the ability to write clear critiques of AI outputs. The role is less suitable for chemists who need a set schedule, because tasks are asynchronous and self-paced. Applications often score low when candidates list general chemistry teaching or lab work without evidence of simulation, modeling, or reaction workflows. Missing Indian work authorization is an automatic rejection.
