**Job Description**

**Position Overview**

The Biological Materials and Processing Research Team is seeking a Computational Protein Engineer to spearhead the _de novo_ design and structural optimization of proteins for high-affinity ion coordination. This role is primarily focused on computational modeling and simulation, using state-of-the-art AI and physics-based tools to engineer biological interfaces for critical material recovery.

While the candidate will collaborate with experimentalists, the core mission of this role is to develop the theoretical frameworks and computational pipelines—including bespoke forcefield generation—necessary to model complex metal-protein interactions.

**Key Responsibilities**

+ **Computational Design & Generative AI:** Deploy and refine advanced design suites (e.g., RFDiffusion 2/3, Rosetta, LigandMPNN) to architect novel binding pockets for polyvalent metal catio...
