ThePosition
We are searching for atalented Molecular Modelling and/or Data Scientist with stronginterest in protein design and machine learningtechniques.
Your main role will involve enhancingour internal Modelling/AI workflow for datadriven compound designincluding the integration of novel ML technologies for proteinstructure predictions biophysical property predictions and variantdesign. Another aspect of the position will be to drive thedevelopment of novel SAR visualization and analysis tools andensure its best usage within selected projects. The positionrequires close collaboration with other research scientists inmultidisciplinary project teams as well as our data science andmachine learning colleagues across the global sites of the DigitalScience Innovation area.
Your keyresponsibilities will entail to:
* Develop predictive models for biologics design as well asSAR analysis and visualization methods and integrate them into thein house in silico pipeline to enable multiobjective compounddesign and datadriven decision making.
* Applypredictive models for biologics design including developabilityengineering and experimental design of highthroughput variantlibraries.
* Review technology landscape andbuild external collaborations with key partner in the AI field forbiologics.
* The ideal candidate has a generalcuriosity and excellent track record within drug discoverymolecular modelling and/or machine learning technologies canidentify and address key project challenges can collaborate wellwithin a multidisciplinary environment has a positive attitudetowards challenges takes the initiative for driving projects andcan stay on top of things in a dynamic workingenvironment.
