We’re seeking a Drug Discovery Scientist in Structure-Based ADME/TOX Prediction to join us in our mission to improve human health and quality of life through the development, distribution, and application of advanced computational methods!
We’re inviting a highly motivated scientist with experience in structure-based ADME/TOX predictions or modeling of anti-targets to join the team and help us to further the safety and quality of our, and our customers’, chemical matter.
See company publications here and read about us in the news here!
Who will love this job:
- A computational chemist who enjoys looking beyond on-target affinity to the host of other properties that are required for a successful small molecule drug discovery project, such as clearance, hERG inhibition, PXR activation, time-dependent inhibition, etc.
- A researcher who has a track record of developing or expanding methods to determine these properties in silico and a desire to learn new approaches to the problem
- A proficient coder who has experience using python or other programming languages to implement algorithms and test hypotheses
What you’ll do:
- Combine physics-based modeling, medicinal chemistry knowledge, machine learning, and a wealth of experimental data to create and validate new technologies for the prediction of ADME/TOX properties
- Exploit detailed information in experimental assays to find implications to refine and improve our models
- Work with our therapeutics group to deploy these new technologies to active projects
- Refine the technology to a level of quality suitable for deployment at pharmaceutical companies worldwide
What you’ll need:
- PhD in computational chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, or a related field
- Peer-reviewed publications in the field
- Experience with python or another programming language
