  • Develop and implement advanced molecular modeling, simulation, and AI-based workflows for discovery and pipeline projects.
  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams to shape project strategy and the design-build-test-learn cycle to integrate and improve computational predictions.
  • Mentor and coach scientists, fostering a culture of scientific excellence, innovation and collaboration across teams including chemists, biologists, and data scientists.
  • Communicate project progress and key findings to stakeholders, including project leaders and R&D leadership.
  • Keep pace with technological advances and contribute to intellectual property generation, scientific publications, and presentations at internal and external meetings.

What Skills You Need:

  • Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry, Data Science, Chemical Informatics, Chemistry, or a related scientific field.
  • 10+ years of experience applying computational chemistry in the pharmaceutical or agricultural industry.
  • Demonstrated expertise in multiple computational approaches such as molecular modeling, virtual screening, homology modeling, pharmacophore elucidation, free energy perturbation, homology modeling, and/or structure-based drug design.
  • Solid knowledge base and experience in the incorporation of data science methods (e.g., machine learning and generative AI) in molecule design and optimization.
  • Proven experience working with large datasets, scientific computing and large-scale computing environments (e.g., HPC clusters, cloud computing).
  • Excellent communication (written and verbal), interpersonal, and technical writing skills.

What makes you stand out:

  • Strong background in cheminformatics, statistics, machine learning, and/or other data-driven modeling approaches.
  • Experience combining chemistry-based mechanistic modeling with data-driven modeling in hybrid models for molecule design/optimization.
  • Familiarity with modern software tools and programming languages used in computational chemistry (e.g., Schrödinger Suite, MOE, AMBER, Gaussian, Python).
  • Track record of impactful publications or patents in computational chemistry or molecule design/optimization.
  • Experience mentoring or leading technical teams.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
