What types of projects or tasks can I expect to work on as a part time computational chemistry professional?

As a Part Time Computational Chemistry professional, you may be involved in projects such as simulating molecular interactions, predicting chemical properties, or analyzing data from lab experiments to guide research efforts. Your daily responsibilities might include running computational models, preparing reports, and collaborating with laboratory scientists or other computational chemists to interpret findings. The variety and scope of work can vary based on the employer, ranging from academic research assignments to industrial product development support. This role offers valuable experience in interdisciplinary collaboration and can serve as a stepping stone toward full-time research positions or specialized roles in pharmaceuticals, materials science, or biotechnology.

What is a part time computational chemistry?

A Part-Time Computational Chemistry job involves using computer simulations and theoretical models to study chemical systems while working fewer hours than a full-time role. Responsibilities may include molecular modeling, data analysis, and developing algorithms to solve chemistry-related problems. These roles are often found in academia, pharmaceuticals, materials science, and biotechnology. Part-time positions may be remote or on-site and are ideal for students, freelancers, or professionals seeking flexible work arrangements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the part time computational chemistry position, and why are they important?

A Part Time Computational Chemistry professional typically possesses a background in chemistry or a related field, with strong analytical and mathematical skills. Proficiency in computational tools such as Gaussian, Schrödinger Suite, or Molecular Dynamics software, and familiarity with programming languages like Python or C++ are commonly required. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and the capacity to work independently or in research teams are valuable soft skills. These qualifications enable accurate modeling and analysis of chemical systems, supporting research and development in academic, corporate, or pharmaceutical environments.

Position description
Research Assistant - Computational Chemistry (Junior Specialist)
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) - Mission Bay Campus
Abrahamsson Lab (PI: Dr. Dimitri Abrahamsson)
We are seeking a motivated individual to join our research group as a part-time Computational Chemistry Research Assistant. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational chemistry and analytical instrumentation, with the potential to extend to full-time depending on performance and project needs.
About the Role
You will help develop and apply computational methods to solve outstanding problems in high-resolution mass spectrometry. The work draws on a combination of approaches, including quantum chemical calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, and machine learning. You will work alongside an interdisciplinary team in the Abrahamsson Lab and gain hands-on experience with techniques widely used in modern chemical and biophysical research.
Responsibilities
  • Set up, run, and analyze quantum chemical and molecular dynamics calculations
  • Develop and apply machine learning models to chemical and spectrometric data
  • Process, interpret, and visualize computational and experimental results
  • Document methods and findings, and contribute to group discussions and meetings

Qualifications
  • Recent graduate with a baccalaureate degree (or equivalent degree) in chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, or a related field or at least four years of research experience.
  • Coursework or demonstrated experience in computational or physical chemistry
  • Programming experience (e.g., Python) is strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with quantum chemistry software (e.g., Psi4, ORCA, Gaussian), molecular dynamics packages (e.g., GROMACS, AMBER, OpenMM), or machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, scikit-learn, TensorFlow) is a plus but not required
  • Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively

See Table 24B for the salary range for this position. A reasonable estimate for this position is $55,000-$58,600.
