What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in molecular simulation?

To thrive in Molecular Simulation, you need a solid background in chemistry, physics, or computational science, often at the graduate level, with expertise in molecular modeling and statistical mechanics. Familiarity with industry-standard simulation software (such as GROMACS, AMBER, or CHARMM), programming languages (like Python or C++), and high-performance computing platforms is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These competencies are crucial for accurately modeling molecular systems, interpreting results, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams in research or industry settings.

What is a molecular simulation?

A Molecular Simulation job involves using computational techniques to model and analyze molecular systems at the atomic level. Professionals in this field apply physics-based algorithms and software to study material properties, chemical reactions, and biological processes. They work in industries such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and energy to optimize product development and research. Strong skills in computational chemistry, physics, and programming are essential for this role.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in molecular simulation?

Professionals in molecular simulation often encounter challenges such as optimizing computational workloads, troubleshooting simulation errors, and interpreting complex data outputs. Balancing the accuracy of simulations with computational efficiency can also be demanding, especially when working with large biomolecular systems or advanced algorithms. Additionally, staying abreast of rapidly evolving software tools and scientific methodologies requires ongoing learning and adaptation. Being able to collaborate with experimental scientists and clearly communicate results is important for integrating simulation findings into broader research projects.

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.

Job description

The Stowers Institute for Medical Research seeks a Cryo-Electron Tomography (cryo-ET) scientist to support and expand our growing in situ structural biology and integrative imaging efforts. This senior-level position within the Technology Center will play an active role in developing and executing cryo-ET projects, enabling visualization and structural interpretation of molecular assemblies directly within cells and tissues.



Working closely with Stowers investigators, the successful candidate will lead collaborative cryo-ET projects across diverse biological systems. This is a highly hands-on position focused on advancing workflows from sample preparation and data collection through analysis and structural interpretation, while contributing to the Institute’s strategic expansion into cryo-ET and integrative structural biology.


Responsibilities

  • Lead and execute cryo-ET projects in collaboration with investigators and technology center scientists.
  • Develop and optimize workflows for in situ cryo-ET, including sample preparation, tilt-series acquisition, tomographic reconstruction, and subtomogram averaging.
  • Contribute to integrative structural workflows combining cryo-ET with complementary approaches such as AlphaFold-based structural prediction, crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), and molecular simulations or integrative modeling.
  • Provide scientific guidance and training to researchers using cryo-ET approaches.
  • Maintain strong communication across multidisciplinary teams to ensure successful project outcomes.
  • Travel to collaborating facilities for cryo workflow and/or data acquisition is required for this position.


Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, biochemistry, or related field; postdoctoral experience preferred.
  • Hands-on experience in cryo-EM, with demonstrated expertise in cryo-ET workflows.
  • Experience with cryo-ET data processing software and analysis pipelines.
  • Strong organizational and collaborative skills with experience working on multidisciplinary projects.
  • Preferred but not required: experience or interest in integrative structural biology approaches such as AI based structural prediction, and/or molecular simulations.


To Apply

Please submit a current CV and cover letter that includes your research experience as well as a short summary of interests to careers@stowers.org or to Administration Department, Stowers Institute for Medical Research, 1000 E 50th Street, Kansas City, MO 64110.
