Computational chemistry jobs in Boston?

What's the computational chemistry scene like in Boston?

What are the best companies for comp chem and drug design? Big companies like Amgen/Pfizer or are smaller companies better for this?

Should I try to do a postdoc before applying?

Thank you!

Computational Chemistry

Through reading about computational chemistry, it seems like there is a lot of work involving using established programs/packages (Q-chem, Gaussian etc...) and also some work involving method development, and writing one's own code for simulations.

I like the latter two, but not the former. Is a subdiscipline of chemistry that avoids running an excessive number of established packages? I'm more interested in developing the software and the theory than using it to do large numbers of computational experiments. To be specific, I don't mind using other's software, so as long as my work is actually adding code on top of it.

I know theoretical chemistry is a thing but it often gets lumped with computational chemistry. As it turns out, a lot of theoretical chemistry also seems to be running a lot established packages.

Computational Chemistry Overview

Coming from a mainly practically oriented area of chemistry, I want to get into computational chemistry. So far I've taken additional university courses in quantum chemistry and basics of computational chemistry and started an internship in a group focused on theoretical research. However, I frequently get confused with the amount of different programs to use and their different purposes and suitability, so I wanted to know if there is literature that lists the available tools regarding their purposes, strengths, flaws, and maybe suggest a workflow like "use X to preoptimise, then Y for your energies and Z for vibrations" or something like that (and ideally with an explanation why since I can't stand not knowing why I'm doing something). I know that this heavily depends on the observed system, but maybe there are some rough guidelines at least? As I said, I come from a rather practical field, so most theoretical stuff is new for me and a deep-dive directly into the different forms of wave-functions or fractions of methods A and B won't help me that much as I'd have to google everything anyway. Or does anybody working in TheoChem maybe have some tips on how to build up this basic knowledge? Because currently when reading papers I feel like they want me to run when I can barely crawl.

Need help with computational chemistry task.

So i'm on a project where i'll have to calculate the IR spectra of different L-cysteine derivatives. I'm working with Arguslab and gaussian. Now the problem is that i have not found any helpful instructions for the use of either programs or at least i don't really understand them. I have diffictulties with arguslab finding out what i have to do to generate a useable outputfile for gaussian. There are basically no youtube or texttutorials (at least in the languages i understand) that gives any explanation to what i have to do (arguslab has a manual but i have read it twice and ame none the wiser). My labsupervisor and none of the other guys have worked with the program before and can't help me. I'd have to ask my prof but he's out of town untill next week. Then when i have created the correct output file for gaussian what do i do with it? I have done something similar before years ago but i can not remember anything of how i calculated the nmr spectrum back then. (Gaussian and arguslab run on two different computers at the lab. I'm in β€œhomeofficeβ€œ today and am only working with arguslab as i have no unixsystem and gaussian running on my homecomputer). Thanks for any help

Interested in Computational Chemistry, what would be the optimal course to take up?

In need of some advice, I have a choice between AI-ML course at Jain University, Bangalore (4y course) and MSc Chemistry dual at BITS (5y course), which would be optimal considering I would like to take up research in Computational Chemistry? (I also love Biological Sciences, the first incentive was to take up Computational Biology, but I came across programs like Mol Print 2D & 3D and loved the application of CS for studying the properties of different drugs)

I definitely want to go abroad for higher studies, I would've taken up CSE without any hesitation at BITS if I'd scored enough, and gone for masters abroad but since my score was quite low, I'd have to take up Dual at BITS. I'm under the impression that after the master's degree at BITS I'd have to apply for a PhD to further my studies as two masters is unnecessary (?) I'm not sure if that's right?

also could I get any ECE/EEE/ENE at BITS with my score? since I heard that most of the syllabi for CSE and Phoenix branches overlap.

my_qualifications: boards 98.8% JEE mains - around 91 percentile BITSAT - around 280

After all these considerations, which course would be better for me to choose?

thanks for your time!

(I was initially a NEET aspirant, not because I wanted to be a physician, but I loved PCMB until class X and was into biology (human physiology, anatomy, organ systems in general). therefore the idea of going into medical research after MBBS was given to me, but I realised that I had no interest getting a Bachelors degree in Surgery if I was only interested in medicine as a Research prospect, I would still love to take up research in the Biological Sciences but since I have to choose between Research in Biology or Computational Chemistry, I'd have to choose the latter)

If you've ever wanted to learn university level chemistry at home, check out this compilation of lectures I put together! (General, Organic, Bio, Analytical, Physical, Computational, Quantum...)

Posted originally by

u/5maldehyde to r/chemistry

I tend to get a lot of questions about how to learn chemistry online or how to prepare for/supplement university level chemistry courses. So I took a few hours and made a list of the most comprehensive, helpful, and interesting chemistry lecture series. Nearly all of them are recorded in a real college class and are taught by professors. I tried to organize it by sub-branches but the titles of each series should make it pretty obvious as to what type of material the course covers! I'm a huge fan of making college lectures public and hope at least a few of you will find this helpful! Please keep in mind that these are FULL COURSES and that every one of these links is to the first lecture of an entire trimester/semesters worth of courses, so there are generally about 30-40 videos that come after the one that I have linked you to!

EDIT 1: Added Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Metallurgy Lectures, Advanced Organic Synthesis: Stoichiometric Organometallic Chemistry, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering - 179, Intro to Chemical Engineering, Astrobiology and Space Exploration, and a bunch of quantum chemistry/mechanics classes (10-30-14). THINKING ABOUT ADDING PHYSICS, BIOLOGY, MATH, AND MEDICINE CATEGORIES. LET ME KNOW IF THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE/IF ANYONE WOULD BE INTERESTED!

EDIT 2: Wow, thanks for my very first Reddit gold! (10-30-14)

EDIT 3: ANOTHER GOLD?!?! Seriously, thank you guys so much! I'll do my best to keep updating this list and adding more subjects! Also realize that this post made it into the top 100 posts of all time on r/chemistry, so that's really awesome! Really glad I can give back to such a helpful and interesting subreddit! (10-30-14)

EDIT 4: I messaged a moderator (u/chemjobber) about getting this stickied/added to the sidebar because of how many of you have requested it. It'll more than likely happen if everyone that would like it stickied messages a moderator about it! (10-30-14)

EDIT 5: Mods added this post to the sidebar of r/chemistry! It's under the Chemistry Links header and titled "Online Chemistry Lectures". Also, I appreciate the feedback and suggestions and will add categories for other subjects as soon as I can find time! (11-2-14)

What's computational chemistry like? Advice needed

Sorry for the broad question haha! To be more specific, what kind of careers does it lead into? What's day-to-day life like working in CC? Do you enjoy it etc.?

For context, during my degree, I've realised I'm horrible at lab work - I generally get terrible yields and sometimes my data is pretty poor, despite 2 years of practice. I love physical chemistry the most, but I feel like I'm not cut out for the experimental aspect.

I still really want to go into science as a career and I need to choose a topic to do my masters project on for my 4th year. My supervisor suggested computational if I'm not very good in a lab, yet I can't help but feel being poor at lab work is going to limit me so much, as surely I can't solely do computation??

Sorry for the rant, but any advice would be much appreciated :)

Any good computational chemistry programs that can interpret Firefly results for free

Hey all, I'm just a curious undergrad continuing my self taught plunge into Computational chemistry, and it should come as no surprise that I am interested in physical organic chemistry. Regardless I have obtained the firefly program (I think it's based off of Gamess US), but I really don't have much to do with my results. I've used macmol, however this is totally inadequate considering I can only really see ESPs or maybe Molecular orbitals but I don't think I can use it to get my hands on hard data like bond distance or maybe other things. I don't think it's as urgent or important but I also use avogadro for the inputs and don't know if that can do everything I want it to do (for instance I want to try to guess some transition states) and don't know if I can do it there. Pretty much asking for any easy to obtain or free Computational chemistry programs available

[Computational Chemistry] When validating ONIOM MO:MM partitioning schemes using SValue, is it sufficient to run it for the initital and final state, or should I also run SValue tests for the intermediates too?

Hello! The documentation and references for gaussian's ONIOM for large molecules guide references reactants and products, however the systems shown as example are a simple 1 step mechanism.

I am trying to model an enzyme catalysis with at least 2 intermediaries.

For such a reaction, should I do SValue validation on the intermediaries too, or is it sufficient to run it on the initial and final states?

I'd ask my supervisor but he's on a vacation until next week, and my labmate has no idea either (his own project was already validated through literature, he just did minor adjustments).

I'm mainly asking as I hope to reduce computation time, as UFF:UFF needed for SValue validation is not that long... It quickly becomes long if I run it for each intermediary (especially since the purpose of my project is to determine what the actual reaction pathway is based on what's been proposed by experimental papers, and that'd be a LOT of options to validate).

Getting started with simulations/computational chemistry

I'm a materials scientist with a few years of experimental experience in polymer synthesis, but my chemistry knowledge is pretty pigeon-holed to a handful of reactions and whatever I picked up in undergrad intro-to-organic. Is there a good set of material (papers, books, MOOCs, whatever) to read through if I'd like to learn more about computational chemistry?

I'm not sure where to start (I guess maybe going through some further chemistry courses to have more theoretical basis?), and I really don't even quite know what's realistic to simulate with current methods.

I'd like to keep exploring some polymerizations I played with back in grad school, but without access to a lab anymore this seems like it might scratch that itch.
