Research Scientist RDIT Modelling (Quantum)

This position offers an excellent career opportunity for a computational chemist to leverage quantum chemistry skills in chemical process optimization and product development in the agrochemical industry. You should have a thorough understanding of DFT and ab initio electronic structure theory methods. Proficiency with Quantum Chemistry based software tools like Turbomole, Gaussian, deMon, GAMESS-US, Quantum espresso, VASP, etc. is required. Additionally, you should have proficiency with any of the scripting languages like Bash, Python, Perl, etc. and working in a Linux environment and high-performance computing platforms. Demonstrated experience in using electronic structure based software tools in understanding chemical reactivity and reaction mechanisms is essential. Experience in catalyst design and the use of data-based models to optimize industrial processes is preferred. Moreover, experience in utilizing in-house experimental data and modelled parameters towards predictive modeling and statistics would be a plus. You should have a working knowledge of classical methods like force fields and molecular dynamics simulations. The ability to work in a collaborative multidisciplinary scientific environment and communicate technical results to experimentalists is crucial for this role. The ideal candidate should have 3+ years of postdoc or industrial experience in a related field, with a PhD in Chemistry/Physics specializing in Theoretical Chemistry/Computational Chemistry/Chemical Physics or a related discipline from a reputed University/Institute in India or overseas with excellent academic credentials.,
