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 job?

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.

Chemistry & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer

Mindrift

Dallas, TX

Part-time

Posted 14 days ago

Job description

Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may: 

  • Design original computational chemistry problems that simulate real chemistry research workflows;
  • Create problems requiring Python programming to solve (using numpy, scipy, chemical libraries);
  • Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
  • Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, and molecular modeling;
  • Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from chemistry practice;
  • Verify solutions using Python with standard computational chemistry approaches;
  • Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

What we look for

This opportunity is a good fit for chemistry specialists with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:  

  • Degree in Chemistry or related fields;
  • Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
  • 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
  • Experience with numerical methods in chemistry;
  • Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods;
  • Strong written English (C1+).

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

On this project, contributors can earn up to $76 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution.

Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels based on their requirements.
