• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from chemistry practice
• Verify solutions using Python with standard computational chemistry approaches
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers

Requirements

• Degree in Chemistry or related fields
• Python proficiency for numerical validation (including MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language)
• 2+ years of professional experience (applied, research, or teaching experience)
• Experience with numerical methods in chemistry
• Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods
• Strong written English (C1+)

Benefits

• Up to $29 per hour compensation
