- Develop self-contained computational environments with pinned dependencies and scientific software.
- Create input datasets, molecular structures, simulation parameters, experimental data, and model configurations.
- Implement expert reference solutions using Python, Bash, C/C++, Julia, or domain-specific tools.
- Develop automated tests for numerical accuracy, physical consistency, convergence, and output structure.
- Create tasks involving simulations, numerical modeling, data fitting, optimization, spectroscopy, molecular analysis, and scientific visualization.
- Define appropriate numerical tolerances, units, boundary conditions, and expected scientific behavior.
- Validate that tasks are reproducible and execute successfully without runtime downloads.
- Debug issues involving dependencies, numerical precision, solver stability, performance, and file formats.
- Document scientific assumptions, expected behavior, and computational limitations for reviewers.
Requirements
- Ph.D., postdoctoral experience, or equivalent advanced technical experience in physics, chemistry, materials science, astronomy, computational science, or a related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, Julia, Bash, or another scientific programming language.
- Experience working in Linux or terminal-based environments.
- Hands-on experience with numerical methods, scientific modeling, simulations, or quantitative data analysis.
- Ability to independently create and validate reproducible computational scientific workflows.
- Strong understanding of units, numerical precision, physical constraints, and scientific reproducibility.
- Experience developing, debugging, or validating scientific computational models or workflows.
