## Postdoctoral researchers and software scientists

<!-- If you are interested in a position as a postdoctoral researcher or software scientist in the Mobley Lab, please [fill this Google Form](https://forms.gle/YKEEGH6UNjKYmvvz8) (login will be required to upload attachments), and also e-mail David Mobley letting him know you've applied. Currently we are looking for people for:
- Binding free energy calculations, both methodology and software
- Force field work such as with the Open Force Field Initiative
We are always glad to hear from motivated people interested in joining the group.
Even when no formal opening is posted, positions often develop on short notice, so
if the work here interests you we encourage you to submit an inquiry using the
appropriate form below. In all cases, please also e-mail David Mobley to let him
know you have submitted an inquiry.

Current openings often involve close collaborations with industry researchers to help develop and test methods which will rapidly be deployed in the pharmaceutical industry. -->
## Postdoctoral researchers and software scientists

There are no openings for postdocs at the moment. You may also want to consider applying to the [Open Force Field Initiative](https://openforcefield.org/about/careers/openff/) and [Open Free Energy](https://openfree.energy/careers/). Both are run through the Open Molecular Software Foundation, so if you have strong software expertise you may want to consider [applying there as well](https://omsf.io/about/careers/).
If you are interested in a postdoctoral or software scientist position in the
Mobley Lab, please [submit a position inquiry
here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScT1eRKKihd6uyKm-T7jSYol69auC6P10q3irUqUEF3qXbn8w/viewform?usp=dialog)
(a login is required to upload attachments), and also e-mail David Mobley letting
him know you have applied. Work in the group frequently involves binding free
energy calculations — both methodology and software — and force field
development, often in close collaboration with industry researchers.

## Graduate students

We take graduate students admitted through the Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemistry Ph.D. programs. We do not take applications to the group directly. However, if you are interested in discussing opportunities in the group before or after applying, feel free to reach out.

and e-mail David Mobley to let him know.

## Undergraduates

We have openings for a limited number of undergraduate students in the group. Typically we only take students in their junior years or earlier, and we are typically looking for students with at least some level of programming experience, or at least demonstrated willingness to learn.
