We're seeking a Computational Materials Scientist in Heterogeneous Catalysis and Reactivity to join us in our mission to improve human health and quality of life through developing, distributing, and applying advanced computational methods.

As a member of our Materials Science team, you'll focus on developing data-driven models using physics and machine learning to provide predictive solutions for optimizing heterogeneous catalyst materials and associated processes, with a strong commercialization focus. Using your passion for analysis, optimization, and discovery of tailored reactive systems using quantum mechanical simulations, you'll play a key role in advancing groundbreaking research.

Who will love this job:

An experienced computational scientist with a proven track record in computational heterogeneous catalysis, including electronic structure methods, surface reactivity calculations, and chemical kinetics

An established researcher who enjoys working independently and as part of a team

An excellent communicator with outstanding interpersonal and organizational skills

What you'll do:

Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders on computationally-driven catalysis materials discovery, analysis, and optimization using a combination of atomic-scale simulations and machine learning to analyze and model catalyst materials and processes

Build predictive catalyst performance models based on physics-based simulation and experimental data

What you'll need:

PhD in Physical Chemistry, Computational Chemistry, Quantum Chemistry, Materials Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related scientific discipline

Experience in heterogeneous catalysis and using periodic DFT codes to study the electronic structure of solids, surface properties, and heterogeneous catalytic reactions and kinetics

Experience with microkinetic modeling and machine learning in surface chemistry is a plus

Python programming proficiency is a plus

Pay and perks:

Schrödinger understands it's people that make a company great. Because of this, we're prepared to offer a competitive salary, equity-based compensation, and a wide range of benefits that include healthcare (with dental and vision), a 401k, pre-tax commuter benefits, a flexible work schedule, and a parental leave program. We have regular catered meals in the office, a company culture that is relaxed but engaged, and over a month of paid vacation time. Our Office Management team also plans a myriad of fun company-wide events. New York is home to our largest office, but we have teams all over the world. Schrödinger is honored to have been included in Crain's New York Best Places to Work, BuiltIn's NYC Best Place to Work, and Newsweek's list of America's 100 Most Loved Workplaces.

Estimated base salary range: $120,000 to $140,000. Actual compensation package is dependent on a number of factors, including, for example, experience, education, degrees held, market data, and business needs. If you have any questions regarding the compensation for this role, do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our Strategic Growth team.
