What is the difference between Full Time Cheminformatics vs Full Time Bioinformatics?

AspectFull Time CheminformaticsFull Time Bioinformatics
Required credentialsBachelor's or Master's in Chemistry, Bioinformatics, or related fields; knowledge of cheminformatics toolsBachelor's or Master's in Biology, Bioinformatics, or related fields; familiarity with biological data analysis
Work environmentLaboratories, pharmaceutical companies, research institutionsResearch labs, healthcare, biotech firms
Industry usageDrug discovery, chemical data managementGenomics, personalized medicine, gene analysis

Full Time Cheminformatics focuses on chemical data analysis and drug discovery, while Full Time Bioinformatics centers on biological data and genomics. Both roles require similar educational backgrounds but differ in their specific data types and industry applications.

How to get into full time cheminformatics?

To pursue a full-time cheminformatics role, candidates typically need a strong background in chemistry, computer science, or bioinformatics, often demonstrated through a relevant degree such as a master's or Ph.D. Additionally, skills in programming languages like Python or R, experience with cheminformatics tools, and knowledge of molecular modeling are important. Gaining practical experience through internships, research projects, or certifications can also improve job prospects.

Job description

Who We Are:

Cogent Biosciences is a publicly traded biotechnology company focused on developing novel precision therapies to treat a broad range of patients with unmet medical needs. Cogent's lead program, bezuclastinib, is designed to selectively and potently inhibit exon 17 mutations found within the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase, including KIT D816V. KIT D816V is responsible for driving a rare and serious condition called Systemic Mastocytosis, and exon 17 mutations are also found in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a type of cancer with strong dependence on oncogenic KIT signaling. Bezuclastinib has exhibited promising initial data across all three trials: APEX in AdvSM, SUMMIT in NonAdvSM, and PEAK in GIST, including an encouraging safety profile across 600+ patients in single-agent and combination dosing. 

The Role: 

We are seeking an Experienced Computational Chemist who thrives at the intersection of molecular modeling, datadriven decision making, and innovative drug design. In this role, you will directly influence discovery programs by generating actionable structurebased insights, developing predictive models, and partnering with multidisciplinary teams to guide molecular design from hits to optimized leads. This is a full-time, on-site position based at our R&D facility in Boulder, Colorado.

Responsibilities:

  • Apply structurebased and ligandbased drug design methods-including docking, protein modeling, and a range of computational techniques-to support projects from hit discovery through lead optimization.
  • Collaborate with project team members, engaging them in iterative structurebased drug design cycles to generate hypotheses, evaluate targets, triage hits, and guide SAR exploration.
  • Present modeling insights clearly and effectively to crossfunctional project teams, ensuring data is interpreted in the right context.
  • Develop, refine, and maintain robust computational workflows on HPC Linux environments, enabling scalable execution of largescale simulations.
  • Train and mentor colleagues on computational chemistry tools, cheminformatics standards, data formats, and key workflow practices.

Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry or a related field, with 3+ years of relevant industrial experience.
  • Expertise in structurebased design, docking, virtual screening, pharmacophore modeling, and other computational approaches for lead optimization.
  • Expertise in MOE modeling software, with working knowledge of other commercial and opensource computational chemistry platforms preferred.
  • Strong handson experience with cheminformatics platforms and tools, including Spotfire.
  • Strong programming skills with experience in building custom scripts or automated pipelines, is a plus.
  • Proficiency in Linux/UNIX, shell scripting, and HPC frameworks (e.g., SLURM, LSF, PBS/Torque).
  • Experience optimizing large computational workloads on cluster or cloud infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with molecular representations and cheminformatics standards (SMILES, SDF, descriptors, fragmentbased encodings).
  • A solid publication record and excellent scientific communication skills.
  • Proven effectiveness working within crossfunctional, datadriven scientific teams.

Salary Range:

$165k - 190k USD 

Target Bonus: 15%
Exact compensation will vary based on skills, experience, and location.
Our Locations

Waltham, MA: Our headquarters is located in the Greater Boston life sciences community, with an open, collaborative office environment designed to support teamwork and connection. Employees benefit from convenient on-site amenities, including free on-site parking and gym facilities in the building. 

Boulder, CO: Our Boulder location is home to Cogent's discovery research organization and a key scientific hub with strong leadership based on site. Situated in the greater Denver-Boulder biopharmaceutical corridor, this office plays a central role in advancing our discovery efforts and pipeline. 

Our Offer To You 

At Cogent Biosciences, we offer a competitive salary, bonus, and ongoing stock awards, alongside a benefits package that sets us apart. We cover 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums for you and your family, and help reduce out-of-pocket costs by funding up to 75% of in-network deductibles. Our benefits also include a 401(k) match with immediate vesting, generous paid time off, 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave, paid family and medical leave for all employees regardless of location, and company-paid short-term disability coverage for up to 20 weeks. Additional perks like wellness programs, tuition reimbursement, and inclusive family-forming support help you thrive at work and beyond.
