Computational Chemist

What is the Role? A computational chemist with familiarity in structure-based design and chemoinformatics, who will help drive drug discovery projects. In addition to working on projects, you will work closely with medicinal chemists and software developers to develop computational platforms that accelerate compound design and synthesis.

Required

• PhD in computational chemistry, chemoinformatics, medicinal chemistry, or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of experience in biopharma
• Experience with using (preferably open source) computational chemistry/chemoinformatics tools, e.g. RDKit, OpenMM, AutoDock Vina, as part of a small-molecule drug discovery campaign.
• Knowledge of computational chemistry techniques such as MD (including FEP), and docking
• Strong scientific programming skills using Python.

Desired

• Familiarity with machine learning and deep learning approaches to molecule design and property prediction.
• Experience in working with engineers to create cloud-deployable chemoinformatics/computational chemistry workflows.
