QUALIFICATIONS

• Completed a PhD (or close to completion) in data science or related field.
• Knowledge of or a desire to acquire knowledge about chemistry.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience conducting data science research.
• Significant course work in one or more of chemistry, physics, mathematics, statistics and/or computer science.
• Familiarity with one or more AI/ML software packages. Familiarity with relevant, domain-specific software packages is preferred but not required.
• Ability to program in a modern computational language (e.g. Python).

VACCINE REQUIREMENTS

Johns Hopkins University strongly encourages, but no longer requires, at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. The COVID-19 vaccine does not apply to positions located in the State of Florida. We still require all faculty, staff, and students to receive the seasonal flu vaccine. Exceptions to the COVID and flu vaccine requirements may be provided to individuals for religious beliefs or medical reasons. Requests for an exception must be submitted to the JHU vaccination registry. This change does not apply to the School of Medicine (SOM). SOM hires must be fully vaccinated with an FDA COVID-19 vaccination and provide proof of vaccination status. For additional information, applicants for SOM positions should visit https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine/ and all other JHU applicants should visit https://covidinfo.jhu.edu/health-safety/covid-vaccination-information/.
The following additional provisions may apply, depending upon campus. Your recruiter will advise accordingly. The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office

• Developing novel machine learning algorithms for the prediction of physical and chemical properties, infrared and mass spectra, and ionization cross sections using data derived from experiment and computation.
• Implementing algorithms to study the performance of AI/ML classification models.
• Assessing uncertainty in prediction and classification of experimental data as well as data sets derived from quantum chemistry and physics calculations and simulations.
• Computationally testing mathematical and machine learning models with respect to accuracy and uncertainty quantification.
• Developing software to implement the goals stated above (most likely in Python).
• Disseminating results through posters/seminars at international meetings and university seminars.
• Ensuring that all results, findings, data, software, etc. are correctly archived and transmitted through appropriate channels.
• Attending regular meetings to present updates on research and to discuss progress with collaborators.
