The Work You will support AI benchmarking and model development through careful computational chemistry analysis. The work includes reviewing advanced chemistry workflows, interpreting molecular simulation and quantum chemistry results, and recommending ways to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of chemistry-related AI systems. You will also document methods and findings, explain complex scientific ideas to technical and non-technical collaborators, and help validate chemistry-focused AI models and tools.

• Design, evaluate, and critique computational chemistry workflows for AI benchmarking.
• Analyze molecular dynamics, quantum chemistry, and drug discovery data.
• Review simulation parameters and scientific software configurations for accuracy and reproducibility.
• Apply knowledge of molecular simulations, electronic structure methods, and cheminformatics pipelines.
• Guide the development and validation of chemistry-related AI models and tools.
• Document findings, methods, and best practices for knowledge sharing.
