What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a virtual chemist?

To thrive as a Virtual Chemist, you need a solid background in chemistry or chemical engineering, typically with a relevant degree and experience in laboratory environments. Familiarity with virtual lab simulations, chemical modeling software, and laboratory information management systems (LIMS) is often required, along with certifications such as OSHA laboratory safety. Strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and self-discipline are essential soft skills for remote collaboration and reporting results. These skills ensure precise virtual experimentation, accurate data analysis, and efficient teamwork in a remote or distributed work environment.

What is a virtual chemist?

A Virtual Chemist is a professional who applies chemistry expertise remotely, using digital tools for research, analysis, and problem-solving. They may work in industries like pharmaceuticals, materials science, or environmental science, conducting simulations, interpreting data, and advising on chemical processes. Virtual Chemists often collaborate with teams online, using spectroscopy software, computational chemistry models, and AI-driven analysis. Their role enhances efficiency by reducing the need for physical lab experiments while providing valuable chemical insights.

What does a virtual chemist do?

A typical day for a Virtual Chemist often involves designing and running simulations of chemical reactions, interpreting experimental data remotely, and generating detailed reports using specialized software. Communication is key, and Virtual Chemists frequently connect with on-site laboratory staff, project managers, and other scientists through video calls, collaborative platforms, and regular updates to ensure seamless workflow integration. Collaborative troubleshooting, reviewing experimental proposals, and providing virtual technical support are also common tasks. This role allows for a flexible work schedule, but proactive communication and reliable digital collaboration are vital for success.

Job description

Company Overview
We are the only AI-native biotech, pioneering small and large molecule therapeutics discovery by integrating massive multimodal data, frontier AI models, and high-throughput lab automation into an infrastructure for AI-enabled drug discovery.
We hire top 1% talent to join our interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, researchers, operators, innovators, drug developers, business professionals, and technologists.
Join us to build the world's first AI infrastructure for tech-enabled drug discovery and to deliver a pipeline of diverse drug modalities for all major disease areas.
Computation is revolutionizing drug discovery. Advances in big chemical data, massive computing power, artificial intelligence, and molecular dynamics simulations are changing the way we develop new drugs. At 1910 , we put computation at the heart of drug discovery, blending expertise in computational chemistry, structural biology, pharmacology, data science, and software engineering to develop drugs for previously undruggable targets.
Role Description
  • Own computational theoretical chemistry programs across therapeutic modalities, disease targets, and indications
  • Ensure effective collaboration with the Biology, and Medicinal Chemistry teams by providing key computational chemistry insights to aid in the Hit-to-Lead and Lead Optimization phases of drug discovery operations
  • Ensure effective collaboration with the ML Engineering and AI Research team by providing key computational chemistry insights to aid in the development of AI/ML models for drug discovery as well as the incorporation of those models into drug discovery operations
  • Teach key computational chemistry principles to your cross-disciplinary colleagues from Medicinal Chemistry, AI Research, Machine Learning Engineering, Cell Biology, and Pharmacology
  • Partner to improve 1910's existing process for progressing from computational hit to experimental hit to lead to drug candidate
  • Co-author provisional patents and peer-reviewed research papers
  • Validate a cellular hit in a clinically relevant animal model of disease
  • Update provisional patents with the animal model data
  • Nominate a lead candidate for progression into IND-enabling studies
  • Attend and present research at conferences and events related to computational modeling in drug discovery

Qualifications
  • Ph.D. in computational chemistry or related discipline
  • In-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with quantum chemical (QC) methods, including semi-empirical and density functional theory (DFT) approaches, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, including both standard MD and enhanced sampling techniques such as metadynamics, umbrella sampling, and replica exchange MD, free energy simulations such as FEP and TI, and QM/MM methodologies for small and large molecular systems
  • Strong understanding of key concepts, including potential energy surfaces (PES), intermolecular and intramolecular forces/interactions, force fields, molecular properties, thermodynamic properties, solvation models (implicit/explicit), and conformational sampling
  • Proficiency in analyzing molecular properties such as solvation free energy, dipole moments, vibrational frequencies, electrostatic potential, charge distribution, and more
  • Deep knowledge of implicit and explicit solvent models, with extensive experience modeling solvent effects on molecular systems and chemical reactions in various environments
  • Extensive experience in using and troubleshooting software tools for QC calculations (e.g., ORCA, xTB, CREST, etc.), MD simulations (e.g., GROMACS, OpenMM, etc.), Drug Design Development Packages (e.g., EG, Schrodinger, MOE, CRESSET)
  • Experience working with HPC Clusters and cloud-based services like (e.g., Microsoft AZURE, AWS)
  • Ability to optimize computational simulation protocols for efficient resource usage
  • Proven experience working with small organic molecules and large biomolecular systems (e.g., peptides, proteins, etc.) for property prediction, conformational analysis, and structure-activity relationships (SAR)
  • Hands-on experience with Python and Bash scripting for automating workflows and data analysis
  • Familiarity with cheminformatics toolkits such as RDKit for molecular property prediction and data management
  • Basic knowledge of machine learning (ML) techniques applied to molecular property prediction, virtual screening, and related tasks
  • Strong desire to collaborate with AI scientists, data scientists, medicinal chemists, and biologists to interpret computational results and guide experimental design
  • Clear and effective communication of complex scientific ideas through reports, presentations, and publications
