What is a chemistry librarian?

A Chemistry Librarian is a specialized librarian who supports research and education in chemistry and related fields. They assist students, faculty, and researchers by providing access to scientific literature, managing databases, and offering instruction on information literacy and research skills. They may also curate chemistry-related collections, support data management, and stay updated on trends in scientific publishing. Their role bridges the gap between chemistry and information science, ensuring users can efficiently find and use relevant resources.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a chemistry librarian?

A Chemistry Librarian’s daily responsibilities often involve assisting students and researchers with locating and accessing specialized chemical literature, teaching information literacy skills, and maintaining up-to-date collections in both print and digital formats. They may also offer workshops on effective database searching, manage research data, and work closely with chemistry faculty to support curriculum needs. Collaboration with other subject librarians and IT staff is common, as is answering reference questions and keeping current with developments in scientific publishing. This dynamic role offers a balance of independent research, instructional activities, and team-based projects.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a chemistry librarian?

To thrive as a Chemistry Librarian, you need expertise in chemistry or related sciences, a master's degree in library science (MLS/MLIS), and experience with scientific literature resources. Proficiency with specialized databases like SciFinder, Reaxys, and citation management tools is also important, as is familiarity with information literacy instruction. Exceptional communication, organization, and collaboration skills help librarians effectively assist patrons and faculty researchers. These competencies ensure the librarian can support research needs, manage complex information systems, and foster an environment of learning and discovery.

Job description

About us
We're reverse-engineering the origin of life - one of the great unsolved problems in science, and one we think AI finally makes tractable. We believe that understanding this transition, from geochemistry to biochemistry, will let us orchestrate molecular networks and build systems that are more capable, adaptive, efficient, and intelligent.
If we succeed, the applications are vast: from catalysis and green synthesis to ab initio synthetic biology and programmable matter. Understanding and harnessing these processes could let ten billion of us thrive on this planet - and let us dream that diverse life keeps evolving and thriving beyond it.
We're a small, diverse team of AI engineers, computational scientists, and bench scientists. We hold ourselves to the rigor of a research institute, but we ship like an engineering firm. Global team, HQs in Cambridge, MA and London, UK.
The role
You'll build simulation pipelines that fuse conventional computational chemistry with AI-accelerated models, in a setting where the simulation and the experiment are on the same clock. Build it, deploy it, watch it get tested - often in the same month.
What you'll do
  • Run QM/MD simulations combining standard packages with AI-accelerated models
  • Build reproducible pipelines and benchmarking protocols across QM, MD, and ML
  • Deploy simulation tools for internal teams; work with software and product on external deployment
  • Integrate neural network potentials into traditional QM/MD workflows with the ML team

Essential experience
  • PhD in computational chemistry, chemical physics, materials science, or related field - or a Master's with 3+ years relevant experience
  • Hands-on experience with QM and MD packages (e.g., VASP, Gaussian, ORCA, GROMACS, LAMMPS, CP2K)
  • Track record of building computational pipelines and reproducible workflows
  • Proficiency in Python and scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, computational chemistry libraries)
  • Experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and their integration into computational chemistry workflows

Highly preferred
  • Neural network potentials and modern AI models for molecular simulation (e.g., graph neural networks, transformer models)
  • HPC environments and workflow management systems
  • Containerization (Docker) and deployment pipelines
  • Benchmarking and statistical validation of computational methods
  • Translating computational insights into practical applications

Logistics
Compensation is highly competitive. We're also able to sponsor visas for the right candidate.
