We are looking for a highly experienced Cheminformatician or Computational Chemist, with an extensive background in small molecule drug discovery, to lead our Cheminformatics and Computational Chemistry team.
The Cheminformatics team is a high performing cross-functional team that seeks to apply their knowledge to a diverse range of programmes from Target Identification through Hit ID, Hit Expansion and Lead Optimisation. Their role is to aid the advancement of our small molecule Drug Discovery programmes by devising computational solutions to project-specific challenges and applying new and existing technologies to support the needs of our wider portfolio.
As Director of Cheminformatics & Computational Chemistry, you will lead the team in meeting this challenge. You will coordinate, support and guide them in applying cheminformatics, data analysis, biomolecular structural analysis and computational modelling techniques to advance our small molecule drug discovery programmes. You will also take an active role in the delivery of our drug discovery programmes, by developing and applying computer-aided drug discovery strategies that maximise success. Furthermore, you will collaborate with scientific and engineering teams from across the company to guide them on the best use of chemical data, and assist in the design of chemistry-related tools and infrastructure.
