Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Quantum Solutions Cheminformatics Scientist to join our team at PsiQuantum. As a key member of our Quantum Solutions team, you will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between fault-tolerant quantum computing and established cheminformatics and computational physics and chemistry tools.

Responsibilities
  • Conduct innovative research, literature analysis, problem solving, and quantum workflow design in the areas of quantum-informed multiscale modeling, cheminformatics, materials informatics, and computational physics and chemistry.
  • Collaborate with quantum algorithm experts to deploy quantum computing with greatest impact in cheminformatics, specifically drug design and computational chemistry and materials problems.
  • Contribute non-quantum-computing algorithm expertise to the development of in-house quantum algorithms.
  • Serve as a technical lead in customer projects by collaborating with customers' teams to integrate quantum computing-produced computational outputs into conventional customer workflows.
  • Act as an interface between partner teams and PsiQuantum quantum information experts for innovative algorithm selection, development, prioritization, and deployment.
  • Develop computational workflows that combine best-in-class conventional approaches with the breakthrough computational abilities of FTQC to reshape how quantum (materials) chemistry workflows are designed.
  • Serve as a cheminformatics, machine learning, and molecular modeling source of knowledge to PsiQuantum's Quantum Solutions team, keeping aware of recent academic literature, trends, and tools.
  • Build strong cross-team relationships within PsiQuantum to enable innovative use of quantum chemistry algorithms to achieve maximum impact for quantum computing-generated atomistic chemistry data.
  • Help shape external-facing materials that champion the applications of FTQC in relevant industries (for key opinion leaders, media, and partners).
  • Build and maintain external partnerships and collaborations on the topic which can include meetings, group problem solving sessions, or drafting research proposals, among others.
  • Create organized internal reports and well document progress made for directions above.
Requirements
  • Ph.D. in computational (theoretical) chemistry, physics, materials science, or a closely related field with a strong focus on applied machine learning-based research.
  • Strong foundational knowledge in density functional theory (DFT) and/or advanced quantum mechanical wavefunction-based methods, including coupled clusters and configuration interaction methods.
  • Deep knowledge of machine learning and molecular quantum chemistry.
  • Enthusiasm for working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and dynamic team environment.
  • Published track record including (more than one) first-author papers in the field of cheminformatics combined with molecular modeling and applied machine learning.
  • Comfortable and experienced with coding in Python.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Methodology development experience in quantum chemistry.
  • Experience working with multiple python-based quantum chemistry and molecular modeling packages, e.g., PySCF, ASE, GPAW, and pymatgen.
  • Deep expertise in working with machine learning potentials applied to molecular dynamics.
  • Knowledge of active learning applied to chemical and materials simulations.
  • Familiarity with quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) methodologies.
  • Work experience with QSAR-type modeling.
  • Work experience with computational drug design pipeline including molecular docking, and FEP calculations.
