Shape the Future with Us. At Lubrizol, we’re transforming through science, sustainability, and a culture of inclusion. As part of our global team, you’ll be empowered to make a real impact—on your career, your community, and the world around you.

Job Type: Full-time - 4 days in the office per week required, 1 day flexible.

As a Bioinformatics Data Scientist, you'll advance the future of computational science at Lubrizol by discovering, modeling, and predicting interactions that power next ‑ generation cosmetic actives, natural ingredients, and biotech ‑ enabled platforms. You’ll collaborate across R&D, data science, and innovation teams to accelerate formulation design, deepen biological understanding, and unlock new opportunities in materials and life science.

• Build and manage virtual chemical libraries by integrating public molecular databases with proprietary collections relevant to cosmetic actives and natural products.
• Model skin ‑ related cellular receptors using tools such as Alpha Fold and protein refinement workflows to identify binding pockets and biologically meaningful interaction regions.
• Prepare ligands for computational studies, including protonation‑state assignment, force ‑ field selection, and 3D conformer generation for docking and molecular dynamics (MD).
• Apply MD simulations to refine docking poses, study binding modes, and identify energetically favorable conformations.
• Support the design of active ‑ ingredient libraries across synthetic, biotech, and botanical platforms.
• Evaluate and enhance data pipelines, modeling workflows, and decision‑support tools using advances in bioinformatics, machine learning, and AI.
• Contribute to academic collaborations, publications, patents, and innovation initiatives.

• Ph.D. or master’s degree in computational biology, Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering, Bioinformatics, or related field.
• 2+ years of industry experience applying computational science.
• Experience building or managing virtual chemical libraries.
• Hands‑on experience with protein modeling tools such as Alpha Fold.
• Experience with molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations.
• Strong understanding of data challenges related to complex polymer, surfactant, or biological systems.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Proficiency in English;
  Spanish language skills a plus.

• Experience with structure–property or process–structure–performance models.
• Experience in HPC environments and workflow automation.
• Familiarity with agentic AI, generative AI, and open‑source AI modeling tools.
• Strong interest in applying computational science to formulation design.
