  • Validate solutions in Python, following standard computational chemistry methodologies.
  • Document each problem clearly and provide accurate, verified answers.

Requirements

  • Degree in Chemistry or a related field.
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar libraries is also valued.
  • At least 2 years of professional experience (applied work, research, or teaching).
  • Background in numerical methods used in chemistry.
  • Familiarity with computational chemistry concepts and methods.
  • Strong written English skills at C1 level or higher.
