About the role

We are seeking an exceptional computational chemist to apply cutting-edge computational science, with an emphasis on induced proximity small molecule discovery.
The ideal candidate will possess expertise in computational chemistry, collaborating within project teams to discover and advance induced proximity small molecules into clinical candidates.

Advanced Modeling & Prediction: Lead the development and implementation of advanced computational methods, including molecular dynamics and affinity prediction, for ternary complex modeling, ligand discovery, validation and optimization.
Collaborate with computational scientists across the Drug Discovery organization and in our AI For Drug Discovery group.
Proven track record of induced proximity discovery or design projects.
Deep knowledge of computational chemistry principles and general molecular modeling techniques (e.g., docking, molecular simulation and dynamics, quantum mechanics, ligand- and structure-based design).

0-6 years of relevant post-Ph.D. experience in industry or a research organization.
Experience with cloud computing platforms and/or high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Ability to work productively and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary fast-paced team environment.
Familiarity with computational software such as MOE, Schrodinger, OpenEye, and/or Rosetta.
Experience in AI/ML applications in the induced proximity space.
A strong track record of publication in leading scientific journals and presentations at major conferences.

The expected salary range for this position based on the primary location of South San Francisco, CA is $144,900 - 269,100.
A discretionary annual bonus may be available based on individual and Company performance.

AI/ML for Drug Discovery: In collaboration with our internal AI for Drug Discovery team, apply advanced AI/ML technologies, including protein-ligand co-folding, generative and active learning models.
