Contract Density Functional Theory Scientist information

What is the difference between Contract Density Functional Theory Scientist vs Contract Computational Chemist?

AspectContract Density Functional Theory ScientistContract Computational Chemist
Required CredentialsPhD in Chemistry, Physics, or related field; expertise in DFT methodsMaster's or PhD in Chemistry or related field; experience with computational modeling
Work EnvironmentResearch labs, pharmaceutical or materials companies, academiaResearch and development labs, biotech, chemical industry
Employer & Industry UsagePrimarily in scientific research, academia, and R&D divisionsIndustry-focused, applied research in pharmaceuticals, materials, and chemicals

The Contract Density Functional Theory Scientist specializes in applying DFT methods to study molecular systems, often requiring advanced theoretical knowledge. In contrast, the Contract Computational Chemist has a broader focus on various computational techniques for chemical modeling. Both roles are common in research settings, but the DFT Scientist emphasizes quantum mechanical calculations, making their skill sets more specialized.

Job description

Who are we, and what do we do?

At Corteva Agriscience, you will help us grow what’s next. No matter your role, you will be part of a team that is building the future of agriculture– leading breakthroughs in the innovation and application of science and technology that will better the lives of people all over the world and fuel the progress of humankind.

The Molecular Platforms team in Corteva Agriscience plays a critical role in the discovery, development, and optimization of microbial and small molecule natural product active ingredients. We are seeking a Natural Products Chemist to join our multi-disciplinary team at Indianapolis Global Headquarters as we grow our pipeline of sustainable products.

What You’ll Do:
  • Develop and execute isolation methods for natural products and metabolites from complex matrices (e.g., environmental, microbial, or plant) via chromatographic and other techniques.
  • Elucidate the structure of complex natural products using a variety of spectroscopic and analytical techniques.
  • Develop and optimize methods for the extraction, detection, and quantitation of secondary metabolites from microbial fermentation samples. Promote information sharing and collaborate with scientists across disciplines (e.g., synthetic chemists, biologists, data scientists, metabolomics scientists) in a team-oriented environment.
What Skills You Need:
  • Ph.D. in natural products/organic chemistry or a related field.
  • Isolation of secondary metabolites or similar natural products from complex biochemical matrices.
  • Broad range of separation techniques, including analytical and preparative scale chromatography (e.g. RP-HPLC, NP-HPLC, HILIC, Ion exchange, SEC, SPE, SFC).
  • Structure elucidation of complex secondary metabolites using both 1D, 2D NMR techniques and mass spectrometry.
  • Ability to design experiments and critically interpret results.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and presentation skills.
  • Meticulous organization and attention to detail.
  • A strong desire to make an impact on global food security.
Preferred Skills:
  • A background in natural products chemistry and knowledge of natural product biosynthetic pathways.
  • Demonstrated success in isolation of many natural products in a collaborative environment.
  • Experience with the isolation and characterization of microbial natural products.
  • Experience in using density functional theory (DFT) methods for structure elucidation of natural products.
  • Experience or familiarity with microbiology and fermentation techniques to enable natural product isolation.
  • Familiarity with automation (e.g., liquid handing).
Benefits – How We’ll Support You:
  • Numerous development opportunities offered to build your skills
  • Be part of a company with a higher purpose and contribute to making the world a better place
  • Health benefits for you and your family on your first day of employment
  • Four weeks of paid time off and two weeks of well‑being pay per year, plus paid holidays
  • Excellent parental leave which includes a minimum of 16 weeks for mother and father
  • Future planning with our competitive retirement savings plan and tuition reimbursement program
