OpenEye Scientific is seeking a highly motivated, well-qualified molecular dynamics (MD) specialist to help develop an automated set of tools for performing cloud-based, path sampling simulations of biomolecules, e.g. using techniques such as the weighted ensemble method. The ability to write high quality scientific code is essential, and previous contribution to a large-scale code base is preferred.

Over the last eight years, OpenEye Scientific has developed the field’s most advanced large-scale compute platform, Orion, built on Amazon Web Services. In this position, you will be working at the cutting edge of cloud computing, C++/Python development, and advanced MD simulation techniques. Your work will have the potential to make a major impact in drug discovery, and will be available to many pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

You will join a group of mostly PhD-level scientists and developers who are driven to build the next generation of biomolecular simulation software, a group that excels in code optimization, molecular theory and the scientific process. We are also skilled C++ and Python developers who enjoy discussing our science and the state and direction of the field.

OpenEye Scientific has been a leader in the computational chemistry industry for over twenty years, and provides a wide range of products for designing new and better medicines. We are widely recognized for the care we take with our science, our software and the people who work for us.

This position is available at our headquarters in Santa Fe, NM. Relocation cost assistance is provided. 

Requirements:

• Master’s or PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Computational Biology or related field

• 3-5+ years experience developing in modern scientific languages (Python/C++/etc.)

• Strong background in the theory of molecular dynamics simulation

• Good people/communication skills and ability to work as a part of a team


• Ability to work under a development schedule, balancing features with delivery

Preferred:

5-8+ years experience developing in modern scientific languages (Python, C++, etc.)

Contributor to major scientific code base related to MD simulations

1-2+ years experience with enhanced sampling MD simulations
