No 125Duties and Responsibilities

• Apply state-of-the-art molecular simulation techniques, both classical and ab-initio/DFT based approaches, to establish properties and understand/predict the behavior of materials in pharmaceutical production processes (e.g., for prediction of mechanical properties, cohesion energy density, morphology/habits, or molecular mobility and disorder/amorphization propensities of API crystals.
• Develop new scientific ideas, methods, algorithms, and technologies.
• Actively participate in project teams/ meetings/ scientific networks.
• Report and present scientific/ technical results and contribute to publications & presentations.

Requirements

• An MS degree in theoretical chemistry, (bio-)physics, material science, or a related field.
• Hands on experience with classical molecular mechanics/dynamics and/or ab-initio/DFT simulation tools and methods, including a good understanding of the involved algorithms and theory.
• Experience in programming, (e.g., python, or C++) and familiarity with Unix/Linux systems, including common command line tools.
• Professional conduct and communication skills in dealing with international clients, partners and colleagues
