RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a Sustainability Researcher in Redmond, WA.
Summary:
Encompassing multiple domains across machine learning, engineering, and natural sciences, research is committed to empowering real-world impact on some of the most pressing problems facing society including climate change, green energy, and sustainable materials.
This project focuses on developing and applying state-of-the-art ML-accelerated and generative models to solving important problems that can accelerate decarbonization for direct air capture technologies.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced research scientist with expertise in computational chemistry. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of ab initio quantum chemistry methods, molecular dynamics simulation methods, molecule optimization, and be proficient in the design, planning, and implementation of tools and technology to support AI-driven scientific research.
Duties Include:
* Collaborate effectively with cross-disciplinary teams across machine learning, computational materials and chemical sciences, and software engineering
* As a Sustainability Researcher, you will define strategy to integrate advanced computational chemistry and structure-based molecular design methods into molecular discovery and optimization
* Develop and deploy robust automated computational workflows, enabling methods to be run without significant manual input
* Maintain the highest standards in code quality and documentation
REQUIREMENTS:
* PhD or 5+ years of computational experience
* Experience executing quantum chemical calculations at scale, with HPC or cloud computing systems, and with Python or similar
* Proficiency with molecular dynamics software packages (e.g., LAMMPS, GROMACS)
* Proficiency with Gaussian-type basis quantum chemistry software (e.g., NWChem, PySCF, ORCA)
* Proficiency with classical molecular dynamics simulation software (e.g., GROMACS, LAMMPS, ASE)
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
