What you should have:
  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in computational chemistry, chemistry, cheminformatics, or related field with 0 - 3 years relevant experience
  • Knowledge of some traditional computational chemistry approaches such as docking, virtual screening, molecular modeling, etc.
  • Programming expertise, ideally in c++ and/or python preferably with experience using AI coding agents
  • Experience in or desire to learn about the pharmaceutical industry
  • Strong desire to find practical solutions to challenging problems
  • Demonstrated ability to work both as part of a team and independently

The following are a PLUS, but not required:
  • Experience with OpenEye software/toolkits
  • Experience with synthetically accessible, pharmaceutically relevant generative chemistry
