Job description:
This role will be office-based and involve using modern modelling techniques to address a range of challenges posed by agrochemical systems. The challenges are wide ranging from those encountered in crystallography (polymorphism, hydrate/solvate formation) at the molecular scale through to formulation stability (particle aggregation) at the mesoscale.
The successful candidate will have a sound understanding of the physics and be proficient in the use of quantum and atomistic molecular modelling. The candidate should be able to apply that understanding to other modelling techniques, such as mesoscale and discrete element modelling and across disciplines including process engineering.
Role requirements: Highly numerate with an ability to use mathematics across a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. Good understanding of the fundamental principles underpinning molecular processes Appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of different modelling techniques and where and how to apply them. Good understanding of data collection, manipulation and presentation. Proficient in the use of the Windows operating system and Microsoft Office. Excellent oral and written communication skills Strong organisation and interpersonal skills, reliable and enthusiastic
Main Duties/ Responsibilities
