Job Title: Computational Biology & Bioinformatics Expert (PhD)
Job Type: Contractor
Location:Remote (Worldwide)
Job Summary: In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, evaluate, and critique advanced computational chemistry workflows to support AI benchmarking initiatives.
- Provide expert-level insights on molecular simulations, electronic structure methods, and cheminformatics pipelines.
- Assess and optimize simulation parameters and scientific software configurations for accuracy and reproducibility.
- Analyze data from molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and drug discovery projects, providing actionable recommendations.
- Leverage domain knowledge to guide the development and validation of chemistry-related AI models and tools.
- Communicate complex scientific concepts clearly, both in writing and verbally, to technical and non-technical collaborators.
- Document findings, methodologies, and best practices to ensure knowledge transfer across the customer’s team.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- PhD in chemistry, computational chemistry, or closely related field, or equivalent industry/research experience.
- Professional written and spoken English (C1 or higher)
- Deep expertise with computational chemistry methods and simulation-heavy environments is desirable.
- Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as Gaussian, ORCA, Psi4, NWChem, GROMACS, LAMMPS, AMBER, RDKit, or OpenBabel would be ideal.
- Strong scientific programming and analytical workflow experience, especially using Python.
- Excellent quantitative, analytical, and scientific reasoning skills.
- Outstanding written and verbal communication abilities, with the ability to clearly document and explain technical concepts.
- Track record of rigorous scientific problem-solving in complex chemistry domains.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with AI/ML-assisted chemistry workflows or benchmarking.
- Peer-reviewed publications, patents, or contributions to open-source scientific software.
- Background in drug discovery, spectroscopy analysis, or reaction prediction/retrosynthesis.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for micro1. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
