Computational Chemistry / Theory Consultant Astera InstituteComputational Chemistry / Theory ConsultantEmeryville, CaliforniaThe Astera Institute is seeking a Computational Chemistry / Theory Consultant to provide the specialist molecular-simulation and theory for a nanoscale electrostatic actuator — the electrostatics that drive it and the mechanics of its moving parts (charged plate, force transmitter, and amplifying linkage) — and predict the experimental quantities the team measures on the bench. Model electrostatic actuation — how an applied field drives the charged DNA-origami plate through an ionic solution and into a polymer cushion — using appropriate methods (e.g., Poisson–Boltzmann, explicit-ion molecular dynamics, or continuum modeling) to predict the device's voltage–displacement and force behavior.
