Applications are invited for 1 of 2 positions in theoretical and computational chemistry 
in the group of Y. A. Small, Dept. of Chemistry at the York College Campus of 
The City University of New York (CUNY). 

A PhD position or Research Technician III position is available, depending on the 
experience and background of the candidate. 

The PhD appointment is at The Graduate Center of CUNY in Biochemistry or Chemistry, 
see https://www.gc.cuny.edu/About-the-GC/Provost-s-Office/The-Sciences 
Candidates should have a degree in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, or related fields. 
The main theme of our research is to develop and apply state-of-the-art computational 
tools to characterize and understand the structure and dynamics of molecular systems in 
the condensed phase through direct contact with experiments. In particular we use and 
implement methods to accurately represent intermolecular interactions and use them in 
classical molecular dynamics and quantum dynamics simulations, depending on the 
system of interest. 

The Research Technician III position (postdoc) is at York College CUNY in the Dept. of

interactions and use them in classical molecular dynamics and quantum dynamics 
simulations, depending on the system of interest. Maintain our Linux cluster. This includes 
data management, backup and archiving research data, running MD and QM codes, 
writing custom data analysis scripts/codes for visualization of output data. The technician
is responsible for ordering necessary supplies. Maintains and operates laboratory 
equipment. Collects, verifies, records and compiles data; performs calculations and 
prepares graph and reports. Maintains records of lab procedures and results. Performs 
other related duties as assigned. Assists scientists, students, and other technicians in 
the performance of laboratory and investigative research procedures. Collaborates with 
lab members on different projects; contributes to the organization of the lab by providing
support for various aspects of research. 
Experience with multiple platforms (i.e. Linux/UNIX and Windows), hardware and 
cluster maintenance, software for scientific computing, data analysis and visualization 
with an interest in computational research, programming, hardware and software 
maintenance.
