What could that possibly be for?
- tclancy 4y agoDating site spinoff.
- junon 4y agoAt face value this seems like a silly suggestion. But actually, I could totally see TikTok doing this.
- DoktorDelta 4y agoMaybe they're looking for someone who can leverage computational neurochemistry to make the app more addictive?
- sh4rks 4y agoThat would rank pretty far up in the "unethical jobs" list
- pcmill 4y agoTracking viral videos?
- tkk23 4y agoThis could be used to verify the quality of TikTok's data scientists. They cannot verify them directly because they cannot publish their algorithms and data. So let them do science and figure out who knows his algorithms. *edit: actually: >Optimize and speed up classical molecular dynamics and quantum chemistry algorithms with artificial intelligence and high-throughput computational methods. They are building an algorithm library

There are open quantum computing and scientific computing jobs too.
- max_ 4y agoYou can think of it the way Finance people hire Astronomers & other physicists. Physics may have nothing to do with financial markets but the math tools and research skills physicists have are useful in finance. The same goes for Computational chemistry and analysing of data for a video streaming site
