It sounds like something you could do pretty easily with a CSV file with all of your schedules in, a Schedule:File object in your IDF, and either jEPlus, a Python script, or a Parametric:SetValueForRun object.
Depending on how powerful your computer is, how many different occupancy schedules you want to simulate, and how quickly you need the results you could either run this on your own machine, or on the Ensim platform if you use jEPlus.
Eppy is another option that I'll happily promote. If you decide to use it and have any trouble then ask another question here. I'm working on some code that handles schedules at the moment so should might be able to help out.

Depending on how powerful your computer is, how many different occupancy schedules you want to simulate, and how quickly you need the results you could either run this on your own machine, or on the Ensim ENSIMS platform if you use jEPlus.jEPlus, AWS or other cloud system, or on a server cluster at your university if they make one available (Raven at Cardiff, Legion at UCL, etc.).
