You will be joining an expanding molecular design team based in the new Advanced Research Centre on the University of Glasgow campus in the West End of Glasgow. The position provides the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team that spans engineering, robotics, chemical synthesis, drug discovery, and software development.
As a Senior/Staff Computer Aided Drug Design Scientist, your expertise and focused contributions will be instrumental in building and improving computational tools (UIs, algorithms, databases, etc) to complement our world-class integrated platform for all of Chemistry, specifically focused on enabling the thoughtful design of high-quality and innovative drug candidates for client projects spanning many Chemistry verticals from drugs (small molecules and others) to polymers, advanced materials, and others. In addition, you will use your expert chemistry and computational knowledge to use platform tools (yours and others developed by peers) to support to directly contribute to the success of these projects, providing a tangible impact for our partners and their needs to power the real world.
You will work closely with team members from the software engineering, process engineering, and chemistry team to contribute to the development of the most efficient, automated, and versatile chemical manufacturing laboratory in the world.
You will work closely with our synthetic chemists, commercial and management teams, and the partners and customers we partner with to ensure you deeply understand how the Chemify platform can create the most value for real-world challenges. You will work closely with the chemistry department to provide feedback, troubleshooting help, and new feature ideas to continuously improve the performance of the company’s technology platform, which serves you and other synthetic chemists.
Responsibilities
You will primarily be:
Requirements
Ph.D. in computational chemistry, chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, computer science, related fields, or equivalent professional experience
Demonstrated track record in building tools for drug discovery
Proficiency in Python for scientific computing, syntax/semantics, data types and structures, Object-oriented programming concepts, functions and modules, testing and coverage, backend development
Desired skills & attributes
Experience in portfolio projects R&D to IND
Strong foundation in computational chemistry
Over 5 years of hands-on experience in Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) and a track record of successful portfolio projects.
Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment
Strong interpersonal skills to effectively interact with team members, stakeholders, and external partners.
Experience leading a small team of chemists or leading/managing syntheses projects.
