Job Description



The Computational Materials Science Scientist will apply state-of-the-art computational chemistry and crystallographic tools to predict the solid-state and particle properties of small molecules to streamline experimental efforts and to design better medicines. This will enable project teams to de-risk their programs and to move rapidly into clinical studies with the goal of commercialization. The role is highly collaborative, requiring extensive work on multi- disciplinary project teams. With this role there is opportunity to develop novel computational methods, addressing gaps in our current knowledge and capabilities.

Responsibilities:

  • Apply state-of-the-art physics based computational approaches to predict the properties and performance across range of molecules.
  • Conduct crystal structure prediction (CSP) calculations and free energy calculations for polymorph stability ranking.
  • Utilize various physics/informatics (i.e. molecular simulations, density functional theory, H- bonding propensity analysis, full Interaction map) based computational tools for design and derisking of commercial solid form.
  • Develop and apply physics/ML-AI based computational tools to investigate and understand the particle properties, surface and performance.
  • Participate on multidisciplinary project teams and collaborate with colleagues to define and recommend follow up screening and characterization strategies to complement computational studies according to project timelines.
  • Oversee the work of external partners conducting computational analyses and provide tactical guidance and critical analysis of their work.
  • Solve scientific problems using contemporary solid state computational techniques.
  • Lead the development of new scientific approaches and knowledge within the Material Sciences organization. This is an individual contributor rol
